For years the two of us have been harboring a dream, to take a year off to travel together with our son, Brook. We're delighted to now be fulfilling that dream. In July 2011 we began the trip of a lifetime, traveling around the world. We are learning from and adventuring amidst other cultures, schooling Brook along the way, and creating fantastic family memories. Please share your comments and questions! - John and Eydie

Natitingou to Djougou


The ride to Djougou was long but relatively uneventful.  We did come across a Peace Corps volunteer teacher who asked a lot of questions about Peace Corps Benin in the late ‘80’s.  Tomorrow’s bike ride is long enough, 130 km, to merit breaking it up into two days.  However, there are no auberges along the way.  We are prepared to sleep under the stars or knock on someone’s door in a village for shelter.  Brook made it crystal clear that he strongly prefers to take a rest day and ride the entire distance in one day.  So after a family pow-wow, we have agreed to his plan.
