Thanks for sharing these photos. I am a writer in Durango, Colorado currently working on a book entitled "The Road to Abomey." This title appeared in my mind of its own accord and I have been working on it for several weeks now. Did a little online research today and came up with your site on google. Really digging the photos of the palace, the voodoo market, and local attractions. If you care to see any of my work or check out my writing online visit my blogs- www.stealingplums.blogspot.com or www.addictivefiction.blogspot.com. Enjoyed your photos. Very inspiring!

I spent a year in Togo and frequently traveled to Benin. In my opinion, Abomey was the most miserable place I've ever been in my life.
