In other news: I FOUND PEANUT BUTTER!!! Except it’s called “ground nut paste” and used for certain kinds of soups. It’s more earthy and organic tasting than regular PB, and it’s super thick – two teaspoons and your jaw is stuck shut.
At Love Life we adopted a kitten! He’s about a month old. Really it was Matt, Tess, and Fati’s idea, I just went along with it. But he’s adorably cute! At first I wanted to name him “Bola”, meaning “trash dump” in Fante (there’s a garbage dump across the street from where we work) but apparently I was alone in that. Then I suggested “Onkwa” meaning “survivor”, because Matt’s last pet had suffered a pretty terrible death. We settled on the name “Andy” because a classmate of theirs named Andy hates cats, but then it was changed again to “Clovis”. His official title is: “Andy” Clovis the Onkwa cat formerly known as Bola. We gave it all the requisite shots and meds so that Tess and Matt can take Clovis back to the states.
Adina’s sister is in town for two days from Accra. We were talking about all of the differences between countries, and she couldn’t believe that rats and cockroaches existed in America! She really thought I was lying to her.
Blah blah blah...PICTURES!
Me at the cape coast castle - that's a cannon
A picture of me and Isaac at my house, taken by Adina (hence the partial decapitation)
