Shopping is so great when they make your clothes for you

So the past couple days I have been running around Accra shopping and it is so much fun! You just go into a market, make a million new friends, pick out some cloth and bargain for it and take it to a tailor to sew whatever you want. My new favorite thing in life. Haha all of my new clothes are going to be SO loud though...like all of these bright batiks and stuff. Good thing I don't care so much about American fashion... but seriously I am addicted. The other day I went on my friend's moped into town to shop for stuff and the tire blew while we were weaving through traffic on a busy road. Not such good timing... but we were able to pull over to the side and load it up in a little taxi and take it to a mechanic. So mechanics are not the same as home. There was this cute old man who ran around with the most adorable steps and assessed the tire damage. The only way that I could tell he was a mechanic was this HUGE stack of tires near where he was sitting and some pump looking thing. He couldn't fix it and needed a new tire so we had to go shopping for a new tire. We finally got all of this shopping done and came back to a fixed bike. Haha this is the most rambling thing I've written yet...

So Happy Easter early. I am going back to the Volta region village for nights of bed bugs and days of fun and swimming. So excited to go back...and I think that it will be really nice to spend Easter in some sort of family environment. No Easter Bunnies here though. Just Jesus.
