M Plaza Hotel Accra

So this past Saturday I went to Bojo Beach.
It was beautiful.
It was only about 45 minutes or so away from where I was staying.
I had only been to the beach one other time during the day.
It was called Labode Beach.
It was pretty dirty but there were people swimming in it.
I didn’t.
At Labode there were also so many people trying to sell you things.
Not at Bojo.
Bojo was clean first of all.
Awesome.
And, to get there you have to cross ...

... a main charact** who was a s**vant, and th**efore spoke in a v**y thick accent which made it hard to follow). In this one the white woman (actually just a fair** skinned ghanaian with a wig) spoke in a british accent so she was a lot easi** to und**stand.

Aft** the play, we went to ISH2 to talk to jane and get more clothes for our trip to togo when we go through Bassari, the muslim town. Only one week until we are in togo :D

... but every ten seconds would say “You are welcome”
I have been back to visit this man at least 5 times.
He is awesome.

I would not classify one of the last “houses” we visited as a house. This family was living
With no roof over their head. The only thing that was protecting them from anything was a concrete wall and a piece of cardboard that had been set up to block the wind.
By far the most depressing.

A few days later we went ...

... rice, chicken stew and veggie" (as it was labeled on the menu). I think it might've been the best thing i've had since i got here---definitely more veggies than i've seen on one plate at a time! the stew was a tomato-based red sauce with chicken (not fried!! sort of like boston-market style) with green peppers and onions. it was amazing. more expensive than normal--2.50 cedi, but probably worth it for the vegetables alone. We ate with some people from Tufts who I ...

... the side of the road. There aren’t really lanes of traffic in Ghana so probably not a legal issue. However it is a Renee’s fear issue but 4 months of tro-tro and I will get used to it ;)

Depending on where you are going the tro-tro costs 20-50 pesewas which is the equivalent to about 7-41 ish cents.

Take that cta.

We took the tro-tro to this ...

... asleep last night with my computer on. I was trying to get some work done on iMovie because I was having some problems with some videos, and I fell asleep while one of the videos was processing. I also woke up a couple of times during the night, continued working, and fell asleep again.

Today, I packed my bag for Anyako. The family rented a truck to take all the cooking equipment, food, drums, and most of the things we need for the funeral. Some people were impressed when I came ...

... a little girl. I couldn’t tell which one. It was too dark outside. So, that’s that. I saw my first ever bar fight in Ghana. It was pretty cool. Eventually, Brother and a couple of other guys intervened and pulled the guys apart.

Tuesday night, Brother and Kwame wanted to take me out to celebrate my last night in Medie. I actually wasn’t sure if it would be my last night or not. I knew I was going to Abelemkpe either Wednesday night or Thursday morning, so just in ...

... Uncle and I continued toward Accra. We went to the US Embassy so I could sign in, but apparently they close that office at noon, and we got there at 12:40ish. So that was a waste of time. Then we went to an eye doctor. I think some of my bug repellent got on my glasses, and it took the scratch resistant film off of one of my lenses. So I had to get new lenses. While my glasses were in the lab, I put on my icky pair of back-up glasses and we went to the Art Centre ...

... a brass maker, but that's about it. I also go to see my first football game (soccer), Ghana Black Stars vs. Benin. ghana won, and it was pretty exciting to be in a stadium so packed with intense fans...football fans here are craaaaaaaaaazy about the game for sure! Then thursday april 16 I went to an orphanage with a couple of the girls from my group. I felt really awkward at first, since I didn't know any of the kids or staff and I didn't even know where to ...
