January 10, evening edition

In Africa, the coasters don't go under the drinks, they go on to to keep out the flies. Seriously. The boys had a great day shooting football players ( with a camera, just to be clear here), but I'll let them tell you that story. Jen, David and I spent the day on the beach gazing out at the mighty atlantic and watching the frothy waves wash over the breakwater. Some men spent the whole afternoon pulling something out of the water, though no one paid quite enough attention to figure out just what it was. We had ontensed to go to the Fetish market today ( not that kind, silly) but after driving through town , a tide that was both surreal and mad maxian we pooped out. Tomorrow we travel to Accra as our visas expire, bye bye lome!
