ETHOS Togo Immersion hosted by hasheman137.

Mood:  a-ok

Well; weve arrived safe and sound as the saying goes. Two flights totaling about 13 has landed me in Lome, Togo. I will not type long becuase it is hot and very humid, the keyboard is french so i keep mistyping, im tired, and we are sharing the computer.

We were delayed in Cinci due to tornado warning but caught our flight in Paris on time. We arrived in Lome about 6pm (-1GMT) and it was already dark. We drove to the marianst house and if you know me you know i like to drive in tight situations, but ive never seen driving like the 10 min drive to the house lol. Motos weaving in and out, no paint on the roads, cars going around each other in no organized manner. It like everything so far was very exciting.

We will stay here in the capital for 2 days and visit the US embassy, visit Nadia's parents, and meeting with the guy whos in charge of all peace corps activity in Togo. Then we will travel 5 hours north to Kara.

I will try to provide more names of people as i learn them better. Many use american names and i dont know their actual native names-but in time.

I sent out my first newsletter before i left. if you did not get it and would like a copy or added to the list, please let me know.

Ill fill you in more when i get to Kara
