Ghana Odyssey Day 14

This will be short and you can imagine why - last day to cram in final shopping and visiting.  Rhoda got all dolled up and joined me for a return shopping trip to Trashy Bags.  German Mom and daughters shopping there too, before their return to Dresden, Germany, after 2 years in Ghana.  Husband is Director of Goethe Institute, one of Noah's alma maters.


Earlier this morning Reggie walked me to the tailor's house because at the last moment Auntie Mary has decided to have a dress made for me from very valuable Kente cloth.  It will me done today!
I have also included a depressing picture of the Muslim slums directly across the street from a giant mosque being constructed by the Turkish government.  Dilara and Pinar will have a reaction to that news!
We are headed next to the AFS Office to drop offs small gifts for the 5 wonderful AFS ladies.
Took some pics this morning that I hope will fill in some of the blanks of this brief report.  I look forward to connecting with you all in the next days after my LONG trip home.
Thank you for your short notes that gave me so much encouragement to keep journaling about this amazing experience.
Love, Jackie
