As you cross the bridge to enter the city of Porto Novo, the first thing you see are these fishers as shown. It was a timely reminder from Jehovah why we are here. Porto Novo has it's own culture, that I am beginning to learn and really like.... except...Yo-vo is the first word I learned in the local language. You may ask if this is hello, or how are you? But it's not... In Gong it means white. Yup, I always learn this word first. The children even have a special song for you as you walk by. Yo-vo, yo-vo! Bonjour, bonjour/ Ca va? Ca va. Bien? Bien./ Merci. Merci. I guess it's nice to feel special....EVERYDAY :) Katie
