So Far

Ghana is beautiful! I've been here for about a week and a half, and I'm lovin it here. The food is fantastic; we eat rice and some kind of fish or chicken stew everyday, and have freshly baked bread every morning. The roads, although bumpy, are fun to drive on and are a deep red-ish color. There is so much green here! Maybe because it's winter, but there are so many cornstalks, banana trees, mango trees, coconut trees, and plantain trees growing along the side of the road. Speaking of which, the fruit is so good here, especially the bananas and mangos. Another food i enjoyed was "fufu" which has a consistancy similar to mochi, but is made of corn and yucca. We had it with chicken peanut soup. It was heavenly. The fried plantains are also great, they're so sweet and juicy. We also have freshly squeezed juice sometimes, the mango and banana mix is soooo delicious. Well this has been all about food, but I'll write about the market and primary school later!
