Our first stop out of Lome was Kara. Greer needed to pick
up a few items at the marche for dinner. We ran into fellow PCV Dario
and his girlfriend, Marisol.
|
|
On our next visit to Kara, we walked by the new Catholic church.
The Pope even visited here!
|
|
Next we walked to the marche so Greer could show us around and
we could look for pagnes.
Kara's marche is big (it has a concrete, two-story building) and is
open every day.

Mother and I both found pagnes we liked at the same pagne booth.
Here Mother, Greer, and the saleswomen pose with the pagne Mother got for
the girls. It is covered with flowerpots and watrering cans, very
tame for Togo. (We never did find the bloody finger pagne!)
|
|
We went to Maroc's for lunch to meet PCV Phynessa
(left) but ran into Dario, Marisol, and PCV Stephanie (second from right),
too! |
|
|
|
|
During our meal (yes, Maroc's is the best yovo restaurant
in Kara), lizards were running around. Mother named one Tyler because
it would always run when she went to take its picture.

Greer and I had local beverages during the meal. I had Lionkiller
(a Togolese limonade [like Sprite]) and Greer had Pom Pom (supposedly an
apple soft drink; it smells like liquefied circus peanuts!).
|
|
After lunch, we went to see Greer's post office box.
|
|
|
|
Greer got my postcard from Las Vegas that day!
Phynessa went with us, too.
|
|
Greer also took us to see one of the places where she e-mails us.
It was air-conditioned!!!
The computers have French keyboards that we got to use on our third
and final visit to Kara.
