Day 10: Time Flies!

Yes... speaking of flies, we went to the market one last time today. One of the guys wanted to get some jewelry for his wife. We went deep into the shopping area where the food is... fish, African snail, clams, etc. Wow, flies everywhere and the smells... Anyhow, after that we went to the artist market and I at last got my Kpanlogo (pon-low-go), the drum I really wanted, Ghana's native drum. So I am happy :)
We came back, showered, packed, and we leave for the airport at 6:30... we're comin home!



This is a lady I bought some batique fabric from... Samira, on right in blue, was once again our guide



Here, you can hire someone to carry what you buy, very cheaply. This young girl (she doesn't know how old she is) carried our stuff and also helped us find some things that we were looking for. She knows the streets SO well, she had us weaving in and out of very tight pathways through the shopping center, through back alleys. Worth every penny (we paid her the equivalent of $5)
