I know it's been a long time. I'll try to update real fast. I'll probably need more time to really get in on all this.

We're in the Volta region which is amazing. You can see the border to Togo. Yesterday we went to the beach which was crazy because the tide is massively strong. We've been learning this intense warrior dance. We get to do kicks and it's pretty legit.

Two days ago we were in Krobo where we met the Queen mothers. I went crazy on beads so if anyone wants beads I got 'em!

What else did we do... oh man I'm sorry there's so little time and internet is so hard to get.
We were in Cape Coast which was intense because we went to the slave castles where they kept slaves on the in period of waiting for ships to come in. It's hideous what the people went through. We swam right next to Cape Castle and it's bizarre to think a place so beautiful once had people suffering right there hundreds of years ago.

In Tamale it was hot and we went through more festivals. Went to a Shea Butter place. I've decided for my ISP that I'm going to market and research fair trade for shea butter because the woman aren't making any profit on what they're doing. So I'm cutting out the middle man profiteer.

The village was relaxing but REALLY gave you an idea of how things are in Ghana. I lived in the chiefs house and on the last day we met him before we left. It's like being a celebrity here and the people treat you with privaledge. It's really bizarre because we don't want to be stared at, the first day we literally felt like we were in the zoo.

I wish I had more time to give a real update!
I'll come in soon and really tell you everything. It's really hard surmising everything. Every day is different and it's so great and wonderful. I'm loving the experience and the people.

I even love fufuo. But I hate yams. I can't even look at a yam or casava.

Until next time where I'll give a fuller update!
Marissa.
