A Ship with a View

The Front Yard

(Starboard)

Lome is quite the bustling port city. Gazing over the top deck of the starboard side of the ship I see a flurry of activity all through the day and night. The scene reminds me of a sort of "Lego Land" with cranes and vehicles of all kinds, lifting and lowering heavy sacks of grain in nets onto other little Lego vehicles for transport. Little Lego people are busy at work wearing little Lego helmets. The nightscape features big Lego rats and big Lego cockroaches cleaning the dock of any spilled grain. The Back Yard
(Port)

Ahhhhhhh....the backyard. Definitely the place to be, with views of crashing waves, farmers watering their crops and members of the Togolese Navy participating in early morning swimming exercises. This is Africa. (TIA!)
