C'est la vie, Ghanaian-style

It’s Sunday afternoon. I was supposed to go to this durbar with a friend but he hasn’t shown up. I’ve tried calling but can’t get through. And I tried getting a car to the village but the line-up was ridiculously long and there were no cars coming. Frustrating to say the least, but there’s not much I can do. The power went out last night while I was in the shower. It’s pretty tough to wash yourself in the dark but I managed.

While I was coming into town this afternoon, the tro broke down, so I had to take another one and it cost me a while extra 27 cents! I’m furious. All in all, it’s been a somewhat useless 24 hours, but the sun is shining and tomorrow is a holiday, so I can’t complain too much. Life is good.

Happy Easter!
