Last night we had a great night at the club here in Ghana. Some of the employees at our hostel thought it would be fun to take us out and it was! We were the only white people in the whole club and were the first to make it to the dance floor. As soon as we all started to dance we caught peoples attention and there were suddenly more people on the dance floor. This club was outside which was really hot, so to cool ourselves down we had some pineapple juice to refresh ourselves. We continued to dance the night away and eventually made it back to the hostel where the Pentecostal church behind us was worshiping till 4:30AM. The way this church worships is by screaming into a microphone, the kind of screaming that pierces the ear.
Today Ahslee and I woke up and headed to Olivia’s who is a seamstress. Olivia lives down the street from us and makes beautiful clothing. I want something that is made just for me to take home. After drawing what I wanted for Olivia it was time to hunt for fabric. We jumped in a taxi to Macola Market which is a little ways away and shopped for a while. I was not able to find fabric that I liked but did find other things including a bunch of new friends! As others were shopping I sat in some of my “friends “ shops played instruments and talked about HIV. After shopping for a while we headed back to our city and went to a high-end fabric shop called Woodin. I got some pretty fabric and took it to Olivia so she can make me a skirt. I hope the skirt turns out the way I have envisioned it.
