This unexpected 5 day weekend came as a very pleasant surprise! Yesterday was a revision day for the students so my teacher told me to take the day and go visit another school. I went to the Tema Parents School Association where 2 girls are teaching. I really enjoyed my visit. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They gave me my Twi name, which I have forgotten. The students were also fun. I would like to go back. After school, a few of us went to the Tema market. This market is not really different from any other market. It is just on a smaller scale and less touristy. I bought some fabric there for 10 cedi and I am getting a dress made for 7 cedi. Basically, I got a whole dress custom made for 17 cedi, which is less that 15 dollars! Pretty excited. Let's hope it comes out like I expect it to. After the market, three of us did some shopping on the side of the road. We haven't really spent time shopping in Tema so it was nice to get out and see the town we have been living in for 5 weeks. I got some awesome things that I am very excited about!
Today, we are going to dinner at a beach resort in Tema that overlooks the ocean and the Prime Meridian rock. Pretty excited to eat dinner as I am basically sitting on the Prime Meridian.
Hoping to blog tomorrow about my day! Enjoy Thanksgiving!
Did you think of the name they gave you? :) Enjoying your posts.
