those of you who follow my travels through west Africa know Benin has consistently been my most interesting post - I've seen motorcycles hauling full sized refrigerators (twice), big sheets of glass (successfully) and up to 5 people often. Today was no exception ... some of the sights on the road from la frontiere (the border) w/ Togo through Benin into the capital, Cotonou.
I like the pile em all on and transport method. This looks like it could be Juarze, Mexico. These methods are also very similar to the 116 you made me ride in Roma. Estle Getty and Girls probably are still talking about the gays and the loud black woman.
