... thing "nous cherchons de l’eau: comme 'pure water.’ Est-ce que tu connais ou nous pouvons le trouver?" I think she must not have spoken french, probably only Ewe because she called a man from across the street to come talk to us. He actually knew a bit of English so we spoke to him in a mix of both broken French and broken English. After he found out what we wanted, he said something to the first woman and she walked behind her ...

... where, so we had to find some way of asking which road to take to our next stop: Tsevie which was like 40 k away or something. (I'll mark the exact distances after i get them from matt later)<br><br>We stopped at a bank and asked for directions: usually a safe and smart place to get help if you ever need any in a foreign country--and there are usually people who are bi or tri lingual in banks, so we actually ...

... Canada!&#8221;, etc.), but it&#8217;s always fun to try and get the cheapest price possible.<br><br>The next morning, Ledzi and I met up with Kwasi in Accra. We waited by the roadside for a while, and when they stopped at the side of the highway, we hopped in. Together, we went to pick up two Canadians who came to spend a week in Dagbamete. Anna had been to the village twice before, and decided to return to Ghana with her father, Brian. <br><br>The next day, I decided I wanted to ...

... the drummers playing the language immediately after was amazing to see. Also, seeing a female master drummer in one of the drum/dance groups was really cool (there are very few female musicians, let alone master drummers).<br><br> After our lesson Wednesday, we went to the local school. It was their last day of class before summer break, so most of the kids were outside playing, but it was really interesting to talk with the teachers. Also, the school was very ...

Last night we could not decide whether to stay in Lome or return to Accra; we decided to see what the whether was like in the morning. If it was nice then we would stay on the beach if cloudy drive to Accra. On our way to Accra. After breakfast at the hotel and goodbyes (everyone seems genuinely happy to meet us) we head to the border. The process with the car always takes time. Dave and Ann got through the border and into Ghana very easily, we are becoming practiced at double speak. A ...

... morning, as well as a barrage of texts. Seriously? Do African men not know about being A BIT TOO EAGER?! I eventually replied with a quick &#8216;je suis au travail&#8217;. That evening, the enslaught began again, so I, already being uncomfortable, informed him I was going into town to go the ATM and buy some water. Well, during the moto rides there and back (ten minutes each way) I received a grand total of, I kid you not, TEN missed calls, from a combination of ...

... and we may be able to. <br><br>The border to Togo is only 200km away and we hope to get there before dark. We do not know how long it will take to get across the border as we do not have a visa. Sanga and Van Damme can cross with just identification so it is no problem for them. The car and us is another matter. Again we come to construction. This time it is only 40km but it still takes time. At the border Sanga is ...

... I jump out of bed and run to the light switch, but can't see what it was. I tell myself I'm being silly and I go back to bed. Then something crawls over my hand next to my face. It's big. I grab my torch this time and try not to scream when I realise they are COCKROACHES!<br><br>Now, I'm not the kind of girl that gets creeped out every time there's a creepy crawly in the room. I tend to be the one who removes spiders from rooms at home. I'm absolutely fine with there being ...

... family here in Ghana won&#8217;t see her again for a while, so I stayed out of the way. Stephanie and Jesse also left. Stephanie cooked a nice lunch for all of us. I stayed over for the night. The next morning, Aunty Mercy went to pick up my drums. I went with Pam and Debbie back to Art Center (again with the stalkers, King George touched my hair and Seshie told him not to do that again&#8230;..thank you Seshie, but King George still followed us around). I got some of ...
