A different view of the working engine.

At the very end of the engine room, you will be able to see the heads of some other visitors.

The noise in a working cotton mill is extremely loud.
The weaver learned to communicate by using very exaggerated lip movements and therefore, lip reading.
My aunties were weavers and tending to use a slightly exaggerated form of speech even outside the mill.

This gives you some idea of the size of this steam engine in what was appropriately called 'The Engine Room'.

An abandoned boat stranded on a sandbar in Cotonou. There were a few more like this in that area. They were all rusty and looked like they had been there for a while.

Another small fishing boat somewhere in Cotonou, probably on the canal dividing the city.

In the foreground is part of the wall of the fort. Note the plants growing in the crevices of the stones.

Although it is cloudy, it was still a good day to be out and about. A little windy on the cliff top.
