soooo. we finally made it to bolgatanga/sumbrungu!!! this is where we will be staying for the next 2 months. the internet is also significantly slower (apparently we were using the fastest cafe in accra before!), so expect less polished posts...
the bus ride was looong but we are so glad to be here. it's hot, but practically no humidity. it is wonderful. our guestroom is literally right next to the library, and it sounds like Darius, the sumbrungu librarian is super excited about things we can do while we're here. :-)
bolga/sumbrungu has a very large bicycle/motorbike presense, and we're hoping to get our hands on a bike we can use to get around soon.
one final note, just because i have to brag about it, i made my first home-cooked meal in ghana two nights ago! boiled yam and cabbage with a tomato/garden egg (like eggplant)/onion/sweet pepper/garlic sauce. simple, but as always i was excited to be back in the kitchen :-)
more to come once we're settled.
ps congrats to BC women's hockey on the beanpot win woooooo!
