A whole lot of people went to get waakye this morning at Aunti Muni's. Waakye (pronounced wha-che) is cooked beans with rice topped with many different things: gari (grounded cassava), spaghetti (yeah, I don't get that one), eggs, spicy sauce, meat, and plantains. It reminds me a lot of feijao and farofa that we have in Brazil. The food was really good but very filling. I still feel very lethargic although I ate over 3 hours ago.

Afterwards, Jens, Francesca and I went to MaxMart to buy more food. It's impressive how expensive food is and of poor quality; I can't get over this. I spent another 90 GHS (60 USD) to buy basic staple foods without buying anything too fancy. The most expensive items are dairy products, produce, hygienic products, cereals, and meats (even seafood!).
Finally, let me include the remaining photos I took this past week.
