I got a job!

Hi again!

So, I've been in Tamale in the Northern Region for a week now. It's great here!! I actually had a sinus infection at first, which was no fun, but I'm all better now. We have been having a great time, wandering the crowded streets and markets, sweating our you know whats off!

The food is amazing! We eat a lot of fufu, pounded kasava, plantain, or yam. We eat it with our hands in peanut, lye, ore palmnut soup. The peanut soup is my favorite so far, but we are trying a new kind tonight. We have found a restaurant here that we love which is owned and operated by a friend of Wahab's family, Mary. There we get fufu, rice and beans, and coca cola. For four poeple to have meals and drinks it is 8.70 cedis, like 6 USD. We have been loving coca cola here. Wahab's sister, Sadia, has been teaching me to cook some things.

Today in the market, we saw cow heads. As in entire heads. It was insane. Also, because there are so many Muslims, there are huge prayers lead in the market five times every day; they are very interesting to watch.

A few days ago, we met Sadia's cousin Niendow; when we told him we were planning to go to Accra on Wednesday to start working with WWOOF (The World Wide Organization for Organic Farming), he told us of ITFC, an organic mango farm association. On Monday morning, we met with them and Tuesday (today), they invited us to come work for them teaching in a school five days a week. We are very excited; we spent the afternoon in the market, getting groceries and cookwear because we will be making all our own meals, living without electricity, and biking 7km each way to and from school.

We are excited to begin and we move into our house, which we will share with three Ghanaian teachers, tomorrow. Now, we are off to have dinner with Sadia and her family!
