6/7 & 6/8 – Friday
and Saturday
Today was a travel and transcription day. I awoke, took breakfast, packed, and headed
to the station to take a trotro to Accra.
From Tudu station I walked for a mile then took a taxi to Amasama Road
station, took a trotro, and was back in time for a late lunch at Joy family
lodge. I ended up spending all after
noon and ALL of the following day indoors, transcribing. In total, I’ve written 82 pages for my
project, and I’m not even halfway done.
Between the storms and power outages, I take strolls down
the road to buy fruit and water.
Everything I drink has to be bottled, including water to brush my
teeth! I’ve lost track of time after all
this typing. Although the trip to
Sogakpe was incredibly productive, I can say that I didn’t realize how much
work I’d have to do afterwards. I’ve
been spending a lot of time with the staff here at Joy; they’re a fun
bunch. For food, it’s the same every day
– Typical egg sandwich breakfast, Chicken and rice for lunch, and spaghetti bolognaise
for dinner. Thank goodness for fruit
juice and fresh fruit! It will be nice
to clear my head and set out on another adventure soon.
Work hard, do good things!
