Call Me Esi

Each day and sex has a name in Fante and therefore everyone has two names to remember. for me it is now Esi, a Sunday-born girl.

As Rebecca said on the ride to Cape Coast, it will never cease to be a marvel that taxis come to Putubiw. How any car can make that trip -- across puddles that look like ponds and hills reminiscent of roller coasters -- more than once in its lifetime will forever puzzle me.

The Form 2s were tolerably well behaved today, and the dreaded reading is behind us. Ghana time being what it is, we may make it back in time for dinner and the JSS session at the library. I really like working with the students and Ben and Kelvin our hosts at PUSU are fun to be around too. This weekend we are looking forward to a trip to Kakum National Park for a canopy walk as well as tours of Cape Coast and Elmina castles. All is well, and the sun even shone a bit this morning.

Til the next taxi trip...
