Day 69 (thursday)

My breakfast.

Maureen's family's house.

Early start, Maureen made breakfast again, salad with bananas and oranges, and I already had cereal and coffee prepared. Mostly reading today, been nursing a dull headache for most of the day and any time I would get comfortable enough to rest something would happen (phone call, too hot etc) to wake me up. Warmed up a huge plate of bean stew and rice. Took a shower pretty late in the day and got ready to visit with some more of Maureen's family (some that I haven't met yet). I learned that when Maureen visits Kumasi (when she isn't staying at the hostel), she stays with these people, one of which includes her cousin. It was nice to visit with some new people and they were very nice. I couldn't turn down the food they offered me so I managed to stuff more food in my mouth. The uncle asked several questions and was intrigued by my desire to be here and wanted to know my overall perceptions. He also questioned me about my tattoos. We finally took off and were both completely exhausted. We got to the house shortly after 10 and both crashed pretty hard. Tomorrow should be a good day.
