... lane road and he keeps going about 90 in the opposite lane to pass people and swerving back into our lane to narrowly avoid oncoming traffic, honking at bikers and walkers that we barely miss killing as we pass them, and crashing over bumps and stuff. I decide I can't take it any longer, one more bump and the pee is going to get shaken right out of me. We are in the middle of nowhere in Ghana, mudhuts and stuff. I go into this ditch full of weeds ...

... was lovely and cool there and also much cleaner than Accra, so it was nice to get out of the city for the day. Anyway. I think it's time to return to my host family for the evening. I'm excited that I have found an internet cafe close to the house that has a decent connection and recent-ish computers!

Sanga held on to our money and paid for what we bought. Alidou and Sanga helped us to get the best deals and quality for our purchases but by the end we were able to negotiate for ourselves with them as adjudicators. Having three Africans with us has made finding things and getting things much easier. We have ...

... part, I had to chew it a bit).<br><br>At night, we went out with Kwame. Yafowa wanted to come with us, so she tagged along. She&#8217;s very flirtatious with the boys (she&#8217;s 15 years old), and I can see that it gets her into trouble. Brother Alfred was annoyed with her, so she wanted to go home. I told her to wait for me because I didn&#8217;t want her to go home alone. It was too dark. But she just left. I got angry because Brother was trying to get me to ...

... we picked up Uncle's friend, who's name I can't remember, and we went to the wedding! Uncle's dance and drum troupe was there, and I met everyone. Most people were very welcoming, coming up to me to say hello and do our introductions. One guy totally mad dogged me.
