"La Beach"

Today was amazing. At the close of my third day in Ghana, I’m finally starting to get a sense of the place. As amazing as the beach was, from the serenading strummer to the gyrating gymnasts, the highlight of the day occurred when we returned. Playing football (or American soccer) with three boys from across the road in our courtyard (yes, we have a courtyard!) was utterly exhilarating. Their skill and the Ghanaian monkey-in-the-middle style of play were revitalizing and we were all sad to see the game end a few hours later when our stomaches could hold out no longer and it was time for dinner.
