Tap Dancing

Yesterday we spent a good deal of time here in the guesthouse. The intention was to make a plan for the two weeks we have left in Ghana. While we have observed a new culture and met beautiful people and love new experiences, this month in Africa was not our girl's first choice of how to spend their summer. In addition, we don't know the culture well enough to know where we are safe to roam on our own, and even if we did, where would we go?

Teaching in the school was arranged before we arrived. We knew there wasn't much to DO in Ghana, so we wanted to engage in some way. We wanted to interact with the people. Overall, I think we've had some remarkable experiences, but there isn't always somewhere for us to go, or at least go for the whole day. Even our day of "planning" kept them cooped up. In some ways, I feel like I'm tap dancing, trying to make this a meaningful and memorable experience, just like the "creche" class! The process is exhausting and satisfying all at once.

In the afternoon we spent a short time at the Artist Alliance Gallery, a place I had read about before coming. It was small, but had some fun African art, and rooms full of African antiques.

 These next faces were made up of beautiful African fabric pieces!

Geoff had a meeting at the Marriott hotel, where we met him for dinner. It was nice to eat something different than the few choices at our guest house. I gave the salad a try, hoping it would be "hygiene". It turned out to be a poor choice...
