Today is Sunday and the hustle and bustle of Lome is less evident. Last night, Eleonore and her husband Jose invited me to dinner at their home with some of their friends. A very nice change of pace from eating alone.

Wonderful people. Good conversation (what I understood — rapid-fire French). Good food. All-in-all a great evening.
Today I tracked down a friend we had made the last time we were here. Margot is a Swiss woman living here in Togo. She has started a business down at the beach. Right now it is a cabana where you can go to lie on the beach, or get a drink or bite to eat. Eventually, she will have guest rooms.
Margot and Natalie
It was great to see her again. A number of years ago she built a school and for a village somewhere near Lome. It was also great to be by the water. Today was brutally hot and the ocean breeze was a relief!
