We As Americans...

The weekend that I visited the slave dungeons in Cape Coast I also went to Kakum National Park and walked through the woods and then through the only canopy in Africa. There were 7 total and it was very high and very exhilirating. A thrill...

which I love.

Since then we haven't had another weekend trip. The week following the Cape Coast weekend we kind of layed low. Went to class. Ate. Bullshitted with the fantastic four. Drank...the usual.

This past weekend we visited the Eastern region to somewhat no avail. The science center that we were supposed to be visiting was closed so we will be going back this upcoming Friday. However, we did get to go to the Carvers village. That wasn't too bad. It was basically like the Cultural Center or anywhere else where they sell stuff to tourists except that things were hella cheap. So, I bought some stuff (as usual) and it was alright.


Not much since then. We went to another beach that wasn't Labadi/La pleasure but I forget the name of it. It was quiet and desolate and the weather was horrid. I kind of hated it so I read. That was on Sunday. It's now Tuesday and I've been to Labadi twice since then. Kind of a lot...but we had to buy some things on Monday. And, today we went just to hang...


it was a good beach day. The sun was out in full blast for most of the afternoon. After my first Labadi experience I vowed not to enter the water in full force again. Mostly because of my locks. So, I got my feet wet and read. And, I played soccer with some cool guys and girls. And, I ran. I kept being stopped. It was funny. Apparently I'm "very fit/athletic and I can play football very well..."

I also got proposed to. It was funny. I think his name was Ebenezer. I laughed and he gave me his number. Another highlight of the day...

the cake. We met these random girls who were celebrating their friends birthday and they shared with us some of their wonderful cake. It was delicious. Then we ditched them because as usual they were trying to take advantage of us. I felt kind of bad. Then I didn't.


Something I will not miss about Ghana is how everyone acts all funny when they find out that we are Americans. I certainly will not miss that.
