Surf's up

When my Grandpa was here we went to a a beach resort called Beyin Beach Resort. It was a very beautiful beach and the best part was that they rented surf boards for only 5 GHc an hour ($ 1.85)! So we rented a board for two hours and we had a great time. Here are some pictures:

That is me way out there with my dad. The beach was really nice because it was only about 3.5ft for 100-150 yds of shore.

Peel er' up

In Ghana they peel the orange then cut off the top and suck the juice from the orange.

Which one is it?

 

Here is some funny “dialogue” that we hear a lot here. When you see “^” that means I am talking, when you see “<” it means the other (Ghanaian) person is talking.

^ “What’s your favorite color?”

< They nod their head.

^ “Do you have a favorite color?”

< They nod their head again.

^ “So…What is your favorite color?”

< They nod their head once more.

^ “Do you like red, or blue, or pink, or green?”

< They nod their head. 

^ “So…Is it blue?”

< They nod their head……then they shake their head (no) and say “(e.j.) pink

^ “Is it blue or pink?”

< They nod their head.

^ “It’s pink?

< “Yes.”

^ “Oh. OK. Mine is light blue.

< They nod their head.
