We are still here, and loving it. Each day, we love Lagos a little more. No doubt there will be days we hate it and feel like we must get away, but it is a city rich with art and culture. (And when we start to hate it, it's time to take a trip.) What a gifted and talented lot they are, these Afrikans! Chris and I got to attend an art show on Saturday at the American School hosted by the American Womens Club. There were quite a few artistans there showing and selling their wares. We bought our first artifacts, a standing man and woman carved in ebony. They are quite charming! I will add a picture.
Problems with the first flat I viewed at Niger towers. Went back today and made another selection, exact same layout except backward which I actually liked better, so if Shell approves and they had already approved us for the other one, we might be moving in the end of next week. YEAH!!!
The Eko is a lovely hotel and we have a view from our balcony of a huge lagoon separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a narrow strip of sandy beach with beach houses. I will also add a picture of the view. There are hundreds of people from all over the world in and out of here each day. Sometimes it's interesting just sitting in the lobby and watching people. And if I feel like having lots of conversation and getting a lot of attention, all I have to do is wear my Obama tee shirt. The Nigerians are crazy about Obama, and most of the other people also hope the US elects Obama!
