Today was orientation, so we drove to the NYU center in Ghana. There are only two classrooms in the center, but we only have 16 students enrolled in the program. After orientation, we had a sampling of traditional African foods at a restaurant named Headlines (how appropriate).Afterward, we drove to the mausoleum of Kwame Nkrumah--the first president of Ghana. We also visited the Accra marketplace, which was filled with people and goods. My friend Kendal bought fabric and asked the seller if she could take a picture. The woman happily agreed, but only if Kendal would pay her two cedis (equivalent to about two dollars).
For dinner, we met in the same restaurant where we had lunch, and the owner offered us glasses of wine on the house. We made a toast to our program and the people who are a part of it.
