Fans are my friends
I am partly referring to those in the bedrooms when it's pretty hot out. But I am also referring to the addiction I have here that I keep forgetting to mention. There are guys on bikes with coolers at most tro-tro stations, selling "Fan" products: FanYogo, Vanilla Ice, FanChoco, and Tampico. When I first arrived in Ghana, Evelyn told me how wonderful they were, so I tried a Fan Choco, it was frozen chocolate milk, pretty good, but not too special. Sometime much later, I tried a Fan Yogo, now this was much better, frozen strawberry yoghurt. But it was not until I tried Vanilla Ice that I realized how great it is! It's like soft serve ice cream! And after being here this long, it tasted sooo good. So I've been having tons of those since. It's almost an addiction, depending on how you define addiction.
Well, just a few days left. After leaving Mole, we went through to Bimbilla. Stayed at a place for super cheap, but it was extreely basic accomodation. Then, we travelled to Nkwanta, to get there we had to change vehicles a few times, it was a bit of a hassle, and we got really dusty. But we stayed at a really nice place there. I think since this area is less frequented by tourists, prices are lower. Also great about this place, I hired a guy to wash my clothes! Yay, it made me quite happy. While there, we went on a great hike up some mountain in Kyabobo National Park, but the weather was a bit cloudy and so the view wasn't as great. I still haven't decided if wet season or dry season is best to come here: wet is a bit cooler, but you see much less wildlife as well as poorer views. And you can get rained on. Anyways, today we travelled from Nkwanta to Hohoe, our last resting place before Accra. Tomorrow we plan to see some waterfalls, and the day after hike up the highest mountain in Ghana, then the day after we head to Accra, and the day after we leave Ghana! Looking forward to it, I've been here long enough. I still don't know if I can change my ticket to spend less time in UAE. I just looked at a weather forecast, it's generally daytime highs of 38 or 40 degrees, yikes!
Anyways, kindof tired for some reason (even though I slept better than normal), so I guess that's it for now.

Hopefully you enjoy your last few days in Ghana...
As for me, well, my problem lately is a screen door that won't open. Just for your entertainment and amusement, I'll let you ponder that one out.
Ahhhh... Fan Yogo! I miss it already. The Air Canada flight gave me my first real ice cream in 3 months. It was divine!
