Goodbyes

This morning it rained and the kids didn't have to go to school. So I got to have some extra time with them before leaving for Kumasi. It was hard to say goodbye, but I think it was harder for them than me. Solomon was crying and angry with me both for leaving and for not giving him candy. Atta II was mad at me for leaving and wouldn't give me a hug. Sarfo was crying and wouldn't hug me goodbye either :( It was hard fo me to say goodbye to Miracle, Solomon and Kwaku (yes, I had favorites ) and I'll miss them. Thankfully, I'm coming home with about half as much stuff as I brought! I was able to put one of my bags inside the other...woot!
Katja and I went on our way to Kumasi. We went to the cultural centre and I bought some souvenirs and handicrafts. There were drum makers and painters that we watched do their work. It was cool to see how everything was made. We got a super cheap hotel that had a working toilet!
