FOOD IN TOGO
We basically have the same food with different names. The street food culture is a buzzing as Ghana.
Don’t worry, there are continental options! At @Hotel2Fevrier I had Indian & Chinese food!

📍 Grand marche and the Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Located at the market, the cathedral is a picture hot spot. Go early; less people & you can join the service!
The market is easy to navigate, the leather products are dope and affordable. I bought 5 bags😂

📍Voodoo market
I think it’s a worthwhile experience. It’s always good to understand why and how people live and what they believe in!
The world is more spiritual than physical!
