Here's to the night

Today, I:

• Went to the Makola Market. HUGE HUGE HUGE market.
• Bought a total of 7 yards of fabric. Three different designs. One will definitely become a dress, the others probably shirts or skirts.
• Went to an artist market.
• HAGGLED for the first time in my life. Rather successfully, too. Two masks for ten cedi.
• Spoke in Twi on the streets. (The moment I said "Meka Twi kakra," I immediately made friends for life. There's something to be said for an obroni speaking Twi.)
• Was taught the Ghanaian snap handshake.
• Met a very cute baby named "Prince".
• Was given two phone numbers.
• Went to a Durbar for International Students at the University of Ghana, where there was an African Dance performance and a rendition of "His Eye Is On The Sparrow".
• Freaked out with Candis when we could hear the drum breaks.
• Felt a little Spring All-School-ish.
• Learned some Ghanaian African Dance.
• DANCED DANCED DANCED DANCED DANCED.
• Walked back to the bus and heard God's laugh; not the quiet chuckle I'm used to, but the big, booming, celebratory laughter that echoes in the trees.
