#fete!

You can’t introduce your parents to your village without a HUGE fete. So that’s what we spent Thursday doing - partying it up with my friends and members of the environmental association I worked with.

After a morning cooking rice pate and peanut sauce with my friend, Majorette, we sang and danced with the women in the environmental association. The members are from all over Togo, so the women performed different dances based on their ethnicity - the Moba shake, Kabiye, Losso, Ife, Fon. They LOVED watching my mom dance - and correctly intuited to let my dad just observe.

I’m not much for goodbyes, so this was the perfect way to celebrate with my friends and work partners in village before I leave Togo.
