Lome, Togo

One feature in Africa is the quantity of small shops generally selling one product, fish, clothing, etc. One of our stops was a fetish market, where one could purchase dead animals, skins, plus see a Voodoo priest to give you a spell for your particular problem. Voodoo originates from this section of Africa, Ghana, Togo, Benin. We stopped at a rural school which was interesting particularly since the wash-room was locked. Our next stop was the compound where the king of one of tribes lived. You could tell who the king was since he was the biggest, Our return trip was aided by a police cruiser in front of the buses. Great way to move past traffic jams.
