This past weekend was a three day weekend for many on the ship. The kids were out of school on Friday and we had another opportunity to go to Porto Novo, the capital of Benin, about a 45 minute drive away. Our family had been there some weeks back and visited the botanical gardens there, but had not seen the monkeys we had heard usually hung around in the trees. So Bethany and I decided to give it another go. Jenny was not feeling well so we left her to rest and the boys were more interested in being couch potatoes than getting out. When we arrived at the gardens this time, we immediately saw the monkeys coming to see if we had bananas, and we did. So we had a chance to feed them and watch them for 10 minutes or so until they lost interest in us.
During the drive we saw something interesting, which is usually the case for us here as we are still discovering many new things about the culture. This time it must have been time to give the goats a bath. We saw quite a few goats in a fairly localized area getting a good cleaning.
