Miranna and Charlie in front of the "Gate of No Return," the point where slaves were put on ships bound for the Americas'. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is at the beach in Ouidah, a town in Benin that was the center of the African slave trade.
Miranna and Charlie posing with a voodoo fetish in Ouidah's Secret Forest, where a Beninese King once hid from being killed by turing himself into a tree. Believing in spirits runs deep in all aspects of life here! We're still working on acquiring magic powers- and no, we don't have voodoo dolls!

Miranna showing off her African moves with a local dance troop during a cross cultural session. Charlie's group was not present or he would be in the picture too!
Charles and Miranna, Thanks for taking time to send all of the information and pictures. We are glad to hear that you both passed the exams in preparation for your perminate posts and duties. Love always, Mom and Dad.
