off-north

first a few promised words about songhai - a huge farm owned and run by a ngo. teachinig and instructing people on agriculture of all sorts. farm itself has all - fields with any plant you can think of, workshop where the necessary machines are constructed, a foundry to recycle old elements, fish ponds, lots of animals, production of palm and arachid oil, juice, cashews and many many more. water waste recycled with hiacynth. hiacynth then burned to make natural gas and energy for the farm. in general- a bit scary with the dimensions but fascinating with the system of recycle and multiple use of everything.

and now (after having fished well this early morning:)) i'm going north with meike. no special plan. i want to see the river of niger, so if everything goes well, we'll reach the very north border of benin. keep your fingers crossed:)
