Ghanaian Independence Day

While preparing to come to Ghana I read lots of things about their country. One of the things I was most excited about was that their Independence Day is March 6 so I would be here to celebrate their freedom with them. Turns out this isn't a huge day for them. Independence Day= no work, shopping, no traffic, run errands, and parties. I was really hoping for some fireworks but that didn't happen.

What did happen was a rocking pool party! We invited our institute class as well as a few other people that we have become friends with.

Charles and Me. I have never looked so white.
Alex arriving. Same big smile that he always has on his face!

Francis is always telling me that he is really good at braiding so I decided to let him try it out.
Not bad for working with nasty, tangly post-swimming hair.
