Do you get a better feeling for their size with this picture?....
or this one? Yep, those were some pretty big slugs with portable homes. I don't think I want those for dinner!
We spent our time in the vendor area. Many of the schoolchildren were sporting these very cool woven palm leaf hats.
It was fun to see children and adults all sporting their best Nigerian attire.
There was lots of shopping and good deals to be found -- I got some jewelry and a great deal on some baskets, as they had an upper limit on the prices the vendors could charge.
Happy Nigerian Independence Day! I'm heading off to the Sacred Forests of Osogbo -- more on that when I return!

I'd definitely pass on the snails too. Gross. Course, I can think of worse things to eat...
The woven palm leaf hats were very cool. I was just in Hawaii and was amazed at the things they made out of ti leaves. (not to be confused with tea leaves I guess)
Tasty snails, I tried it out of peer pressure and loved it. funny how something so slimy makes for a great treat.
