It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

The only real noticeable change in the landscape in Benin is a few additional stands to sell very cheap plastic toys that everyone will buy for their kids. Been playing a lot of Christmas music in the apartment but it's still 100 degrees with humidity so I guess I'll just have to wait for next year for a white Christmas. This morning we drove down into Cotonou to go clean up a park with the other missionaries in Benin and the most Benin thing that could happen did. As we were all cleaning a mid aged lady came into the middle of the park took her clothes off, took some of our water bottles and started to take a shower in the middle of the park in downtown Cotonou.
