My first day

I woke up about noon-ish after waking up a few times from street noises and (apparently) a funeral next-door. Francesca and I went to the grocery store, so I got to see what that was like. I was surprised by the selection since they have many European/American brands although it is very, very expensive. About a week's worth of food for three people was about 120 USD (170 GHS).

I spent the rest of the day unpacking and watching Jens bake a cake. Later, we went to their friend's house (from the US embassy) and ate some pretty killer Chinese food. And much, much later we went to an authentic Ghanaian bar by the apartment. After a few drinks we decided to walk home, and the rain started to come down. The streets were really muddy, so it was a little gross. But, I'm impressed how safe it is here. I wouldn't expect to walk around town close to midnight!
