Two Young House Guests

Two friends of our children in the US arrived last week. Katie, a medical student in Philadelphia, and Conor, with the Teach For America Program in Baltimore, have livened up our household with their summer decisions to experience a taste of West Africa. They've had an introduction to "town" getting duplicate keys made and shopping for plantain, pineapple & watermelon, and spent Saturday evening relaxing first with a drink at the Jungle Bar then enjoying the ever-tasty veggie and Hawaiian pizzas at SWAD. Both have already spent time at Tamale Teaching Hospital but for the next couple of days, they're off to explore some areas further north such as Bolgatanga, capital of the Upper East Region, and Paga, home of the sacred crocodile ponds. At that point, one is very close to the Burkina Faso border so a visit to Ouagadougou is also on their agenda. Hopefully, a great adventure!
