n a visit to Ghana, Togo, and Benin in West Africa, Gail and Sandy got a close-up look at the Voodoo religion. They spent several days in Ouidah, Benin, where they attended the annual Voodoo day, visited the python temple, and observed the hay stack and spirit ceremonies. They also met with the king of Voodoo and visited the fetish market in Lome', Togo. This is an opportunity to learn about an important living African religion that has been mischaracterized in the media.
