The soccer team is finally here! Robert, Andy, Dwayne and I drove to Accra(4-5 hours) and picked them up at the airport there. They were all dead tired, but we drove all the way back to Takoradi to the Microlodge hotel. Me and Molly went to bed right away: we needed to. The next morning we got up pretty late and had bread and eggs for breakfast, then headed out on an adventure around the town. We got innumerable stares as we walked down the street. I mean, 8 white girls and 1 white dude make quite a spectacle out here in Ghana. We saw all kinds of different shops, and all the people in them waved and said hi to us! The funniest part was when both of Simone's sandal straps broke, and a guy on the side of the rode literally took them off her feet and sewed them together. He charged us 1 ceti, but it was worth it, at least it entertained us.
Later we went to the market, which was even crazier because it was so busy there and we were walking in a straight line through all the little bowls of tomatoes, chiles and fish. Everyone liked it, but weren't too happy with the fishy smell, so we didn't actually go INSIDE the market, we just walked around the market circle. After that, we went to Africa beach and played sand soccer. It was a lot of fun, and we got sodas at the resort by the beach.
