The author travels from Cotonou to Porto Novo and Ganvie, Benin, observing dancers, hand made instruments, and markets. They note extreme poverty, lack of utilities, and informal gasoline selling from Nigeria, amid wooden stilt houses, riverboat trips, and vivid street scenes.
A traveler recalls Benin in 2009 with riverside markets, reed houses on stilts, and a Ganvie village visit featuring a shopping center, artifacts, and a Muslim presence near minarets. The narrative shifts to Benin’s geography, demography, languages, religion, and history from Dahomey to independence, plus health challenges and aid projects.
