lomé-tion orienta-tion

Orientation in Lome was fabulous for the most part. It was a little tiring at times and I definitely did not like living out of suit cases, especially since me and personal organization don’t get along too well sometimes, but I was able to sneak in a few naps and did not end up losing anything. At least not anything I’ve noticed so far. Lome is a very beautiful city although, similar to Mexico, it has its fair share of crazy drivers and pollution. Other notable differences from the US are that the houses are cement based and there aren’t many paved streets. I wish I could upload des photos, but I think that’s going to have to wait till later. Lome has a fairly active night life. We arrived on a Saturday night and the streets were hoppin’ with people. I went out twice with PCVs and other PCTs to a couple different bars. It was fun. The best part was getting to talk to and getting to know some great people.
