Lomé, Togo (Mar 24)
Lomé was selected as the colonial capital of German Togoland in 1897 and became an important commercial and administrative center. After World War I, Togoland was divided into French-controlled Togo and British-controlled Ghana leaving Lomé on the French side of the border. Togo is sometimes known as the saddest country in Africa because of its history of slave trade.
We took a taxi tour of the city, including the fetish market, where animal skins and heads are sold for voodoo remedies.

Ending with a Togo toga party
