It's a race to prepare the evening all that much of the team is at a funeral (and here they are festive!) So they do not fit until mid-afternoon. Ysel is upset because this is the first hitch with the truck, it must be said that since our arrival, it spoils very quickly, problem management, Horn, mirror .... We'll have to sell quickly!
For the evening, Mary brought a local group to celebrate birthdays. In fact, there are several groups who will set fire to the center!
And amidst all this, we are very surprised to see land as a flower Miss Carine which could not happen in Togo.
It's weird to be together in the center but so much fun! So
big fiesta! Sunday, April 18
Good sleeping in, well almost saw a neighbor is kindly came to wake us up at 7am in the morning just to say hello (he also was well celebrated the day before ....)!
The countdown to the festival, we're not going to walk eventually, it's too hot and everyone ends up at the bar center for the reunion. Well almost everyone ... Our
Ysel National since the previous bouts of fever ... what happens?? Everyone thinks of course to malaria ... He refuses to go to the clinic on a Sunday (we saw with Mary that it could give ...) and takes pills for curative wait until tomorrow.
He finds the strength to still come to the restaurant in the evening with his parents, Mary and Carina.
In return, we get to cram Jean-Michel and Jeannie both behind the driver of zem (local custom is to 3 on the bike).
