January 10th is the worldwide "Day of Voodoo", and there are festivals everywhere in the country. One big international voodoo festival is every year on a different place in Benin.
We went to Ouidah, a place on the beach where slaves used to be shipped abroad. There is a huge "Gate of no return".
Out of the car, we saw some wonderful voodoo masks made out of trash. They hung on the public toilet to be sold, and the artists were beside. We asked for their phone numbers and decided to visit them the next day in Cotonou.
