Today I gave both of my presentations for class. I just wanted to get it over with so that I could relax tonight! Today we went to the National Museum. We learned a lot about the culture and we saw pots, masks, statues, old photos, money, jewelry, and excavated items. It was interesting, but the lady who took us on the tour was rushing us a little bit because they were going to close soon. She was feisty, that’s for sure. After the tour we were able to look in the gift shop. They had beautiful masks, tapestries and they had these hand-carved elephant statues. I HAD TO HAVE ONE! The wood has great colored beads on it too! I absolutely love it! They also had a elephant mask. I may have to go back and get that. Everything was really reasonably priced too. The only weird thing is that they make you pay 2 cedis if you want to take pictures. They have been asking that a lot at museums. I’m not paying 2 cedis just to take a picture! After the museum, we went to the National Theater. We took a tour and we got to see the huge African drums. The theater was very nice and it’s the only one in Ghana! They said that on Friday, the Ghanaian orchestra is going to perform so we are trying to get tickets to see the show. Then, we went to the mall to get some things from Shoprite and have dinner. We got some chinese. They love chinese food here for some reason, it’s so weird. But, now we’re just home and we’re gonna relax for a bit!
