Togoland!!!!!

Also in March, myself along with four other international students ventured off to the country next door to the east of Ghana, Togo. We stayed in Togo five days in the capital city, Lome (pronounced Lo-May). Togo is a beautiful country with a very thin coastline (only takes about an hour to travel from the west of Togo to the eastern border with Benin) known for having great food, a ton of motorbikes (everyone rides around in them and they even offer rides for people like taxis for very cheap), beautiful beaches, lots of french, a port hub, and along with Benin the original home of Voodoo. During our stay there we explored the capital Lome, ate great food including one of the best cheeseburgers I have ever eaten, soaked on the beach, and took a cross-country trip on motorbikes to the legendary Togoland and Lake Togo, the major practice spot of Voodoo in the country. Enjoy the pics!
