We have come to appreciate the generous hospitality of our Ghanian hosts, William and Pamela. They have really gone above and beyond our expectations by providing for our every need. Pamela took off a week of work to guide us around. They set us up with a very comfortable hotel, have cooked amazing food for us, and have already shown us so many more things than we could have possibly seen on our own in two weeks’ time. They have not allowed us to pay one dime for anything, not even the hotel. We both find it hard to accept such generosity, but we’re trying our best!
Pamela had a custom dress made for Erin. She got to try it on today and it fits perfectly! If you know Erin, you’ll understand how hard it is to find anything that fits her. She is so excited to have some clothes that are made just for her! Tomorrow morning she’s going to be fitted for two or three more dresses. John also bought some fabric today and on the way home got measured for a custom shirt.
If you can’t tell already, today was shopping day. We had the privilege of mainly watching Pamela bargain with the shopkeepers as John tried his best to keep quiet and ignore every negotiating principle Dr. McCormick taught him at Baylor (they do it a little different over here). We’re now officially out of cedis (Ghanian currency), and our suitcases ran out of room a long time ago!
