Cotonou - The Charm of a Seaside Village
This is a photo of the apartment building we lived in Cotonou, Dahomey, which is not the the capital. Situated between Nigeria and Togo, Dahomey has a straight, sandy coastline with an endless line of gently-waving coconut palms. The city grew up alongside the little fishing village which previously occupied the site. Cotonou is the only maritime outlet of the country.
