Some Videos of Benin!


At the 50th parade
Old man dancing. He was pretty awesome

Zangbeto! The haystack voodoo spirit. He's usually pretty benign and just wants money from observers. I'm like 90% certain that the guy inside the zangbeto just downs a pint of sodabee before climbing inside. Sodabee is really raunchy moonshine, cheap and effective, can make you go blind...but everyone loves it here.


This is a bit of the journey from Lalo back to Porto Novo, an example of driving "en brousse" or, "in the bush". If you have to pee you just go off into the brush a bit and go...but not too far because there are monkeys and snakes!
