Back in Togo

11-14-10
We are back! It is good to be back in Togo once again. It seems like every
trip is a new adventure and this one has been no exception. We came a new way
this time by traveling from Atlanta direct to Accra, Ghana and then drove three
and a half hours to Lome. Everything went without a hitch….almost. In fact, it
went a little too well. When we stepped off the plane we breezed through
immigration and customs with barely a pause. After we walked out of the airport
Daniel was standing there ready to greet us. He even had a taxi ready and
waiting for us. Therefore we stepped off of an eleven hour flight into a van
for a three + hour ride. The taxi ride went great with only one extra pitstop
for me(note to self – take even more Dramamine). Needless to say we were ready
to get to our room at the conference center here in Lome.

We will still debate if this is the best way to go if the price were
the same. With the price difference, I am cheap enough to choose this way every
time. The travel is harder without a break, but it is over much sooner.
Tomorrow we will spend the day in Lome exchanging money and doing
some site seeing…and resting.

It looks like we will only have access to the internet maybe twice the whole
trip so we will not be posting much. My new computer does not have a port for a
land line so we have to go to an internet cafe to get online. Not too bad but
not as easy to get to. Today we stayed in Lome exchanging money, buying some
bibles to take to the village, and shopping a bit. Nothing real profound today,
but always good to be back here enjoying the sights and sounds of Lome. Not so
much the smells!
