Boats of Benin

On one of our walks with Lok, we visited the fishing village where all of the brightly painted wooden fishing canoes are docked in the same Port du Peche where the Africa Mercy Ship is docked. Brightly colored flags from countries all around the world fly in the breeze on these boats. I greatly enjoyed reading what the fisherman paint on the sides of their canoes.
