Free Time



A la plage


Art Market
Our number one free time in activity in Lome is definitely the BEACH!!  Yes, Lake Michigan is nice, but the South Atlantic Ocean is pretty cool too.  The beach was sandy and the water was really warm.  Our professor overheard some people arguing who thought we were Belgium which we thought was amusing.  Although Togo is right on the coast, there are only a few spots to swim because of all the ports.  When we weren’t at the beach, we were at the art market, streets lined with people selling jewelry, woodwork, fabric, food, and more.  Also, we had a chance to go to a Discotheque at Hotel Palm Beach one night.  Luckily, there were lots of newer songs in English playing.  Yup, Nikki Minaj is in Africa too.
In Kara, up north, we like to go to the pool at Hotel Kara, walk around with our friends me met at the Universite here, and go to the Cyber Café because we don’t have wifi here!!
