more videos from Togo

So we have the first video is Raphael our guide in Togo and he is showing us how they get green and blue paint from plants. They also get yellow and red from other plants. The yellow is from a tree on the inside of the bark and the red is a plant that they also use for medicine. Anyway, they get others by combining any of these and use them for paints. So after rubbing you get green paint and then if you let it sit for 2 hours it will turn to blue.

Rachel and Spencer talking to the turkeys in a remote village, in the rainforest, in Togo. How on earth did they get turkeys? Good question.

This plant let a tattoo on you. Just like he shows you; put it on your skin, slap it, and it will leave a chalk like mark that rubs right off. Pretty cool.
