Up north in Kara, we got to see a few more iconic sights of
Togo. At the blacksmith, they were
making the metal part of a shovel which takes a few hours to make just
one!
Castle Tata is a traditional village close to the mountains
where they make houses out of wood, clay, and raffia roofs. The tall mounds represent gods that are placed throughout the house in various sizes.
The plane crash memorial was to commemorate the former
president who survived the crash. They left the plane exactly how it landed.
At the top of the mountain we climbed was a stone hidden in
a small hut, which legend has is the foot print of the first man on
earth.
The water reserve sustains the city of Kara and is not
completely full until late summer.
We had a chance to see what a funeral at a mosque was like
because we knew the colonial whose brother died.
On the way to Kara, we passed a mountain that was split in
half in order to people to drive through.
