Here are a few pictures of our trip to Benin. We went there to pick up
Trudi's stuff and to say 'Good bye' and to celebrate our wedding with
the church in Cobly.
Our "wedding ceremony" in Cobly was attended by about
100 people, including the 'Sous Prefet' (government official), the
mayor, the catholic priest, several protestant pastors, some
missionaries, and a lot of friends.
We showed the video of our wedding in the States. Trudi
had to explain a lot of it, and they wanted to see every single minute
of it.
After the church 'ceremony' we had a big meal. The ladies
of the church had prepared mountains of food: spaghetti, rice,
millet-'pate', and three different kinds of meat.
Everyone was invited and the most honored guests sat in
this room and were served first.
The most important people of the day.
After it was all over everybody wanted to have their
picture taken with us.
Our second reason for going to Cobly/Benin was to pick
up Trudi's stuff stored in Tanguieta. Everything arrived safely in
Toussiana by now.
