    Togo or not to go

    November 10, 1989 in Togo ⋅ 29 °C

    Wondered into town after breakfast. Looked around a small but lively market and studied various pyjama suits for sale.

    I like the local system of peeling oranges - Remove the top layer of skin, cut a hole in 1 end, then squeeze and suck, and drink all of the juice without having to eat anything.

    Damp cloudy day, not very pleasant. Laundry came back spotless but still damp. We took to regular use of taxis to and from town as it was only 150-200 for 3 of us. Incredibly lazy as it was only 4-500 metres. Found a good snack bar next to the super market with very good pastries. I had two but then I couldn't eat all of my chicken yassa at dinnertime, and it was the biggest meatiest chicken I have evebr seen. By then it was lmost 8pm, very late for us to be out, so took a taxi home.

    Listened to the news from Eastern Europe - it changes every hour - Something will have to give soon. Caught up with the diary today, good to be up to date. Makes it more spontaneous. Bit of drawing needs to be done though.
