I’m ashamed to say that I know very little about the city of Cotonou, Benin. From this photo it looks like a slightly cleaner version of Vera on market day:

Still, I’d like to give a big shout out to my (anonymous) friend who lives there and visits my blog from time to time (according to Google Analytics). Hello! Bonjour! Comme çe va?
He takes a position of pride amongst the other 3,435 people who visited this website in the last 30 days and read more than one page!

Cotonou has some true smog over the city from all of the motocycles. However, I went north to Niger and visited many cities. I recommend Natingou, it has a life, a few Peace Corp people. I stayed at great Hostel right behind the big city market that was hilarios and cheap. Take care, more of a Chambre de Passage, but funny place and walking through the market daily made life interesting. Thanks from Andy of HoboTraveler.com in Guatemala Travel Blog and Hotels
