There are a lot of chickens and goats in Togo. They go where
they please. When riding my bike I have to we watchful to swerve around goats
since they’re not always quick to get out of the way.
I still love being in
Togo. Its just so different from anything I’ve ever known.
So I survived my first week here in Tsèvie. Today we had the day
off, which was nice. In town there is a hotel called Hotel Melissa that has a
pool that you can swim in for the day for 1,000 CFA (or 2 US dollars). We all
had a blast (and got burnt to a crisp despite putting on globs of sun-block). It
was great to be able to sit and talk and just relax (and cool off).
After the pool the owner of a local night club invited us to
come check out the place for free. It’s interesting going to a club at four
o’clock. I love dancing so I had a ton of fun. The Togolese dancing style is
much like the people here (anything goes). There are very loose and fluid in
their motions. Overall, it’s was another fantastic day in Togo.
Tomorrow, we’re going on a field trip to le marche (market).
Some of us have already been, but I haven’t. There is a lot I need for buy for
my post visit. During week five we stay at our post to get a feel for
the place, find out what we need, and meet our counterparts. I can’t wait to
find out where my post will be.
