Recovery, Homework, and Adenkrebi

The University of Ghana campus is greening after a few rains. Tracy took a photo to show the change.

Catherine is recovering well from her throat infection. This evening, she said it “doesn’t even hurt one bit.”

Mark worked all day to complete his Chemistry and Biology papers and History presentation which he will submit on Monday.

Tracy went to Adenkrebi with visitors Cal and Karen to see Calvin students who are spending the weekend. One destination was the Aburi (“Abree”) craft market. Student Tyler desperately wanted to purchase an exquisitly-detailed, hand-carved fishing boat with 30 fishers, a cockswain, and a forward lookout. At a list price of 250 cedis, Tyler lacked the cash to purchase.

Let the bartering begin!

In the end, Tyler purchased the boat for 70 cedis and four plaid, short-sleeve dress shirts originally purchased at Goodwill. Clearly, both parties were happy with the outcome!

Daniel has hosted and arranged these four-day visits for several years running; this time for three groups of five Calvin students across three weekends. Tracy and students appreciate both Daniels generosity and the hospitality of the people of Adenkrebi. Thanks, Daniel!
