Quote of the day: What’s important is finding out what works for you.
Journal by: Rick
After our breakfast with Esther, she got a cab instead her car to take us to work. We headed back to the same school from yesterday for construction under the burning sun for Rick and Janine had her teaching with class #3. She brought the soccer ball from the hotel to play a matching game with the kids.
After our quick lunch with Amo, we skipped our afternoon task to take a trip to Aburi for sightseeing and shopping.
The drive to Aburi was rough with lots of potholes. Our same cab driver from last Saturday, Bright was driving very carefully to prevent a blow out tire. The drive to the town was uphill and beautiful overview of the town.
When we passed thru the gate at the Botanical Gardens, there were 2 rows of towering palm trees. There wasn’t anyone at the gate to pay the cost to enter the park, we decided to come back after our shopping.
The town is well known to make a deal or not on the crafts. Janine and I had to bargain for our lovely gifts. I saw a beautiful colorful outfit for myself. The guy wanted 75 GH, Bright and Amo were laughing at him for being overpriced on the outfit. We walked away and the guy called us back for a price for 35 GH. I took it!
After buying a few gifts, we headed back to the garden for the tour without a guide. The garden was a peaceful place to review variety of tropical trees and plants. The most impressing of the garden is the Silk Cotton Tree, it is over 160 ft tall with a huge trunk. After walking around the park for an hour, we decided to head back to the hotel for dinner.
