Comings and Goings

Our Canadian friend, Nancy, stayed with us last weekend. After working for several years in Ghana with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), she is now doing short-term assignments in West Africa for a German non-government agency (NGO).
Mmathuba and Rick plan to leave Ghana by the end of 2010 as Rick's three-year project with CIDA comes to a close. They will also do some traveling between now & then visiting family both in Botswana and Canada and I shall miss my "gal pal" here in Tamale. Yesterday, however, Mmathuba managed to introduce me to yet another local "find" before she left. At the end of a typical dirt road, we approached a little salon complete with massage services and a host of other beauty treatments. Passing on the massage, we did indulge in pedicures. So, along with bright red toenails and a recent purchase of a multi-colored ankle bracelet, at least my feet are in great shape for the wedding to which we are invited this Saturday.
