Lazy Days

Life here in Kpalime is nice. The pace is slow, the food is good, and we are getting a chance to relax.

We had a chance to visit the waterfalls near Kpalime, they are called Kpime falls. There is a dam at the top of the waterfalls, and normally the dam is only open during the rainy season. Right now it is the "petit saison" (little season) between the wet and dry season, when there is a bit of rain but also a lot of just hot. Anyway, some piece of equipment in the dam is currently broken, so they had to empty the water to fix it. So to our luck you might say, the waterfalls were running very strongly! We got some beautiful pictures, Tim even pulled out his tripod to take a few shots. It was really gorgeous. A tall waterfall, and about halfway down it splits into two streams of water. I can not wait to share the pictures with you! But the connection is way too slow, so unfortunately for now, just words. :)

We are doing our best to relax, and our plans seem to change daily. We had hoped to go to Lomé the capital on Monday and Tuesday, but then we were invited to a friend,s place for dinner Monday night. And then we had something come up today. And tomorrow a friend is coming to Kpalime from Lomé that we have to see....so maybe we will get there tomorrow night....who knows? Oh well....c,est le Togo. :)
