| So I am actually not hanging at the Barry Hotel..... |
 This is a pic of me, Chief (Siapha Kamara) and Jeanine at the Year End Review in Tamale.
It is still super slow, but I can post pics! I am in Accra for the next few days so I'll post as many pics as I can to convince you all that I am actually in Ghana!
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! My Christmas Eve was spent travelling into Accra from Kpandai, which was actually a very enjoyable trip. It was a different route, on the eastern side of Lake Volta, close to the Togo border, so I got to see Hohoe (say it like Ho- hoy) and other communities that I hadn't seen before. That route was less built up (as un urbanized), so it gave me a better glimpse of the Volta region, the mountains and the forest. And we got into Accra at a decent time, around 7.
My Christmas day was pretty uneventful- I hung out with Cassandra as she got her hair done and then went with her to get food for supper. I ate with her and Banahene, took some phone calls from my family and Rebeka and Jay, and on the way back to the guesthouse I made the taxi driver stop at the gas station so I could get some junk food, and munched out on Kit Kats and Pringles as I weaved hemp bracelets and watched movies. A perfect night!
The rest of my time in Accra was ho hum, so much for the sight seeing I wanted to do! Yesterday was spent running around Accra doing errands for people in Kpandai, and today I am in Osu. I bought books. A lot of books. My doing in happened when the shop keeper gave me a stool to sit on as I went through a box of Oprah's book club books. But I am stocked up for the next couple months!
I also had lunch with Idrissa today and caught up with her. We went to a Carribbean restaurant, where my sandwich had actual crunchy lettuce! I was so excited!
Other plans for the rest of my time in Accra: to go see something cultural, either the W.E.B. Dubois Memorial centre, or the museum, if the museum exists! I also want to get some pics developed, sleep in to 9 if I can, one day, and veg and watch movies. Over and out for now! |
