Day in Grand Popo

Situated on the southern coast of the country, a few kilometers away from the historic slave port of Ouidah sits the small fishing village of Grand Popo. This is about as close to luxury as one gets in the parts, sparsely populated and totally lacking in the "boxed fun" that seems to come with developed resorts. After the rigor of our pre-service learning we were blessed with a day of R&R there.

What follows are a handful of pictures from our time there, sun but an unswimable surf. Enjoy!


The heroes of our tale

Some seriously wicked undertow makes the beach less than safe to swim in, so we didn't

We were 80% of the beach population that day



Relaxin'
