The Beach

Yesterday went to the beach, which was really fun. It was extremely hot as always but a good time was had by all. There were tons of people trying to sell things to us from bracelets to chairs to manicures. Everyone greets us because they can tell we’re foreign and they all ask us our names, where we are from, etc. I have the same conversation about 50 times.

While swimming in the water, we met several of the young Ghanaian men. After trudging through the garbage composed mainly of plastic bags in the shallow areas, we went where the waves were HUGE with our new Ghanaian friends. They asked us to make babies with them so that their babies could be white. We explained to them that, unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.

On the way home, we fit seven passengers in a cab, which was quite an accomplishment. Zahava and I sat in the trunk of the station wagon waving to everyone behind us.
