the Sarakawa Pool!

Now, every once in awhile you get an awesome treat for being in a foreign land. On the ship itself it's pretty close quarters, 6 persons to a cabin sharing a very very tiny bathroom. Our pool on the ship is also out of commission currently due to a very deep green hue that apparently we've been unable to eradicate.

So, enter the Sarakawa! This is another taste of what dad calls, "suffering in a third world country". It cost us $12 US to get into the pool for the day and was absolutely worth every penny.

There is much more of a contrast in Togo between the rich and poor. Here there is a middle class and even a rather large group of expats-most of the people around the pool were French, and then there was our little group of gringos.
