Greetings from Cotonou!

Made it here fine, and it only took 20 hours.

I'm writing from the Peace Corps Bureau in Cotonou.

Rode my first Zemidjan today, which are moto-taxis that everyone gets around on.

On Wednesday I move in with my host family and start Stage officially, which lasts for nine weeks.

Will update again soon.
