Change of Plans
Thursday, August 17
After an extraordinary night of guy talk, which ended well after midnight, I looked forward to waking up at 4:30 AM to leave for Mole (Mo-lay) National Park, a brisk 14 hour drive from Accra. Mole is supposed to be fantastic, even though its not "in season."
Water was once again turned off last night. It always makes for a fun night. And the bathroom, which already smells fantastics, just smells more and more like roses.
I was able to wake up just fine, which is shocking because of the complete lack of sleep and the early hour. But my stomach felt absolutely horrible. While the food at Rich Love is fantastic, it definitely has not treated my stomach well. For lack of a better term, it is street food. The clean end of street food for sure. I'm hoping that I will adjust in due time.
With nothing to do now, the rest of the day, and the rest of the weekend, I'm on a mission to fill my time somehow. Today will be on the slower end. Lunch after this, then hopefully (cross your fingers), uploading pictures from Cape Coast/Elmina, Akosombo/Akrade and Buduburam.
I'm hoping to hit a market this weekend, maybe Makola, but probably circle. I'm really in need of a decent pair of shoes, and for the price of 6 dollars a pair, I might just buy a couple pairs.
Hopefully, I'll be able to update in a few days with something more exciting.
