School Starts Tomorrow...GROSS

I've been in Ghana for a week. It seems like forever and like no time at all at the same time. The past few days have been a lot of fun. On Thursday, we toured the neighbourhood with the CRAs and met some professors. That night a huuuuge group of us went out for a scheduled "Night on the Town." The staff took us to an outdoor bar/live music venue in Osu where we danced for hours. It was a big tourist spot definitely, but still fun. Friday we went to the Artist Alliance Gallery to see the work of West African artists and then we went to the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum (pictures below). That night I went out with some friends to another outdoor bar situation called Celsbridge's. We were the only Obrunis (white people) in the whole place! It was great and it's within walking distance of our house. Yesterday we went to a place called Kaneshi Market. I bought a fabrics to have made into a dress (the fabric was about 2 Cedis a yard, and to get a dress made is about 5 Cedis) and fresh fruit. I got a pineapple, oranges, and about 12 bananas for 2 Cedis. I also got some bulk rice (about a pound) for 1 Cedi. Today we went to brunch and then spent the afternoon at Labadi Beach.

School starts tomorrow. Gross.
