Togo (West Africa): Links to Photos
I got back on American soil on September 22 after
nearly 3 weeks as an English Language Specialist in Togo (
West Africa). It was absolutely fantastic. I took
nearly 300 pictures which I’ve whittled down to 4
albums, all in photos.yahoo.com/reisefrau. The photo
albums are named as follows:
1) Togo_Kara: Kara is the town where I did my first
week of work, 420 km north of the capital Lome.
2) Togo_Kpalime: Kpalime (pronounced roughly like
Palime, unless you can figure out how to combine the K
and P sounds as the Togalese do) is the town where I
did my second week of seminars. It’s also where I made
friends with the Austrian hotel owners who arranged a
guided hike into the mountains around Kpalime. This
one has the most pictures and the most scenic
pictures.
3) Togo_Lome: This is the capital city, where I spent
weekends and then did one last half-week of work.
4) Togo_Togoville: This is an island near Lome where
I took a day trip my last Sunday in Togo. If you like
sun, red clay, and voodoo, check this album out.
More to come!

How was the situation at Togo and especially at Lome? I have read about some tensions and unstable political situation o it wouyld be nice to know current situation.
Belated thanks for your question. The sense I got from people in Togo is, as long as it’s not election time, the scene is politically stable. I don’t know when elections are, but a search on the American Embassy Web site might yield more information (http://lome.usembassy.gov/).
