So Tuesday night was at hand, and we were not doing much so we decided to go on the roof because it always has a nice cool breeze at night time, plus we get to look over the town and neighbourhood we live in, plus we were experiencing our very first lightning storm! Even though we have been here a month now, we still can’t believe we are actually here and living here. The sights and views just amaze us every time we take the time to admire them. Where we live is a real 10-page spread in a National Geographic magazine, it’s amazing! The lightning was amazing, it was honestly like nothing I’ve ever seen. It was a continual stream of lightning for a couple hours, lightning just kept happening, lighting up the sky every second. The greatest thing happened next, we were chilling then all of a sudden we heard a torrential downpour coming straight for us from a distance. We couldn’t feel it but we sure heard it coming! All of a sudden, DOWNPOUR! It was hilarious. So there we were, enjoying the sights, soaked from head to toe, just having an awesome time. It was so refreshing to get rained on! It was the closest I’ve been to being somewhat cool and cold here in Benin, even though I totally wasn’t close to being cold! It was the coolest first Beninese thunder/lightning/rain storm experience. Sights and an experience taken straight out of National Geographic!
