Except for main roads in Benin (which are paved), roads here even in the
best of times are washboardy and have sinkholes. Driving is like skiing
moguls, where you are constantly weaving to find the best path. It rained
hard this morning, and even though it was brief it was enough to flood
roads and turn inconvenient sinkholes into impassable lakes (and further
damage the roads that are just packed dirt). We went down three streets
today where we to turn around and find another way.

They are doing a lot of road construction here, and I'm sure everyone will
be appreciative when it is finished.
