More on Transportation

I've probably told some of you about the "nice bus" that runs from my town to the capital of Lome twice a week, which I now schedule my trips to Lome around so I can avoid bush taxis. But even the bus has a Togolese twist, which on my trip this morning included a caged pig in the luggage hold. Which they put my bag on top of -- I'm sure my clothes benefited from 6 hours in a baking compartment along with pig fumes. Here's a picture of the bus station and the pig.
