The return trip to Kumasi
... sometime later I was awaked by really heavy rain. The roof of this building is metal, and I’m on the top (2nd) floor, so perhaps it just sounded louder than it normally would. But it sounded as though it was coming down in sheets.
At 4 am I again awoke, this time to a call to prayer from one or both of the mosques. Shortly after that everything went silent, and I realized (much to my pleasure) that ...
