nItnseems strange to me that Renovation Day is celebrated in the Africannnation of Gabon.
n
n
n
n
n
nAfternall, it is the anniversary of the beginning of the GabonesenDemocratic Party in 1968 – and for more than 20 years, the countrynwas ruled by a single-party regime. That doesn’t seem veryndemocratic, does it?
n
n
n
n
n
nFinally,nin 1990, President Bongo bowed to pressure to allow political partiesnin Gabon, but the Gabonese Democratic Party still dominates politicsnand rules the land. And makes sure that its founding is celebratednevery year, with speeches, parades, and cultural activities.
n
n
n
n
n
nHerenare some wonderful things Gabon can celebrate:
n
n
n
n
n
nAmazingnNational Parks with incredible waterfalls.

nLoangonNational Park has one of the best beaches in Africa, according tonsome, because you can see hippos, elephants, buffaloes, gorillas,nleopards, turtles, dolphins, humpback whales, and killer whales, allnin the ocean or
