More Beads and Some Confusion

Today, Kwaku, Polina, Bernice, Alanna and I travelled to Somanya with the intention of going to the Bead market but we ended up at the Cedi Bead Factory. I got some great beads and contact information for if I want to order beads in bulk in the future. We caught a tro tro that was going to Accra because the driver said they would be passing through Aburi…but apparently he wasn’t telling the truth because we drove through the valley instead of the mountains and we got off in Medina. Before we went our separate ways, Kwaku kept running after the guy who lied to us to get him to pay for our Tro Tro fair back to Aburi. The situation seemed to be escalating; there was some pushing and lots of yelling. I’m sure they would have fought one another if they had just kept it between the two of them but the spectators acted as mediators, diverting the energy away from the two people arguing and the group helped them reach a resolution. It was quite interesting to watch. Kwaku says he had fun arguing with him, lol, so I guess it’s all good.

  1. Okay,\
    Not sure if this is going to work; just realized that there was a comment button on bottom of each post. 1st - glad you got the bone out, sounds like it was uncomfortable x10. saw something today re: Germans building solar panels in Sahara to provide energy for Europe. Please discuss with your friends there. How about Solar Power for Africa??? Must negotiate that with this deal. Imagine no more power outages and no need for nuclear. sun is a plenty just need the technology. eh?
    love you
