So, we took that as a sign to go get something to go out and exchange some more money and get a new sim card and minutes for her phone. We ran into Tope in the hall and he scolded us for trying to go to the market by ourselves (lol), so we woke Kwaku and Polina and we all drove together in Kwaku’s dad’s old car. When we got there, we parked behind this bus, which turned out not to be such a great idea because the bus driver of the next bus that pulled up behind his car went off on Kwaku, lol…sorry Kwaku!!
When we got back to the hostel, everyone was starving but it is Sunday and all the delivery food places weren’t answering the phone, so we sat around for a while, listening to one another’s stomach growling and then 4 of us headed out to Chef Solo’s to pick up some 1.50-2.00 cedi meals…you can’t beat that!! Right after we finished eating, a man showed up to take Alanna and I to Aburi Gardens. It really caught us off guard because we didn’t know what time we were supposed to be picked up and we thought that Kofi Jyan was coming, but he didn’t.
The ride to Aburi Gardens was AMAZING!!! I missed a lot of great pictures because the car was moving pretty fast but we rode through the mountains and saw lovely homes (I guess it is the equivalent to suburbia). Aburi Gardens is up in the mountains and the landscape is absolutely amazing. We haven’t had much time to explore because it gets dark at six, so we’re trying to wake up early and go for a run around the gardens. We have our own little house here with a living room, refrigerator, bathroom, closet room, bedroom and television. Unfortunately, the electricity is out her too, so a couple of candles, sitting in glass Fanta soda bottles, are holding it down for us right now.
We miss our friends back at the hostel so much, we had become a little team…it’s crazy how you can sometimes hit it off with people so fast and so easily. And even when you live half way across the world, you can have so much in common.
