Tree of...

view map

Sorry, but I don't remember, and trying to find info on Ouidah, Benin is
like kooking for a needle in a haystack. This may be the Tree of Forgetfullness,
or it may be the Tree of Life. It may just be a sculpture. Honestly, it wasn't
marked and with all the monuments to slavery in Ouidah, it's tough to tell
one from another. The locals, they don't care really. Life is too hard now
to worry about what happened back then. It may sound a bit ignorant, but
you know what I mean i you've been there. Plus, they are just monuments.
Slavery is still there, in West Africa, stronger than ever...

Note: no pun intended either. Maybe it was The Tree of Forgetfullness...
