cotonou

After over 24 hours of strait travel, I'm in Cotonou, Benin. Safe and Sound. We got in last night at about 8:30. There isn't much time to talk about first impressions (58 new trainees are waiting to email home), but THIS IS AFRICA. Also, I was issued my bike, and motorcycle helmet today. Apparently the only way to really get around is to take a moto taxi, and Beninese volunteers are some of the only Peace Corps volunteers allowed to ride motos.

I also had my french placement test. Eh. Wish me luck, kids.
