Prampram. Nearby fishing village

Today I went to a small fishing village with a sub chief/linguist and met the paramount chief. Pretty amazing. They let me sit in a traditional tribal council. I felt awkward since I was the only woman and I was dressed "western". The sub chief was encouraging me to take photos, but I felt out of place. I stood in the doorway and tried not to impose. I'm supposed to go back on Tuesday when they have their annual celebration called Homowo.
