KARA, TOGO, WEST AFRICA 005


Uncle Shane with friend on safari.  Gives new understanding to "monkey's uncle".

On the way back from safari we stopped at a memorial for the current President's father who survived an assination attempt when his pilot tried to fly into a mountain but crashed into trees first.  Five died, five survived including the then President.

Actual wreckedge of what was probably a DC 3.  If you have to crash, this is the plane to do it in.

The President survived and went on to rule for many years. He was succeded by his son, who is currently President.
