Over the last week or so, the Harmattan wind from the Sahara has been blowing a lot more strongly, bringing with it much cooler weather and seriously lung-damaging amounts of dust... Playing football on Sunday in the sand was probably not the healthiest idea - the dust clouds that arose with every kick of the ball were enough to make us all choke...
On a lighter note, the cooler weather has brought out the best of Beninese fashion. Yes, Denver Annable, you are a fashion icon over here: socks and sandals (usually of the flip-flop variety) have taken over!
Of course, for the guys and girls who want to be noticed, long stripy or patterned socks are the way forward ;-)
Other fashionistas were spotted wearing once-shiny high heels and wedges with long grey grandad socks. Sadly I wasn't quick enough to get a photo of them.
Long live practical fashion!!
