Chapter 43...The weekend with the American!

At the moment the Abster is in town, as she has travelled across from Lawra in the Upper West to do some work shadowing here in the Upper East! We've spent the weekend catching up, which as always has meant some good old heart-to-hearts, lots of giggles, a  road-trip somewhere new, a few (minor) catastrophes and plenty of daydreaming (on Abbie's part)!

On Saturday we road-tripped to Zebilla, which is an hour North East of Bolga in Bawku West! I rode up with Christina and we met Abs, Cherith and Ellie at a spot for lunch and drinks before heading back to the big B for an evening of kebabs and beer at 'Feel at Home' (should I be questioning how this always happens when Abs is in town?!) We then came home to a dinner of vegetable risotto, which Rach and Hannah very kindly cooked up for us while we were gossiping away over a Club and a Star! 
The Upper East!
The only place to find Christie and I at the mo...Travellers!
On Sunday we decided that it was time for Abs to have her first Ghana haircut so I donned my scissor hands and got snipping! I'm not sure it went down too well when I said 'don't worry it'll be fine we'll just play around with it for a bit!' Need-less-to-say everything turned out fine and she hasn't found herself with hair on the wonk, bangs (a fringe) or even worse bald! We then rode into town for an egg 'n' bread breakfast at Travellers International (the best egg 'n' bread in town), which turned out to be free because Dan the VSO mechanic showed up and bought it for us - result! After this we purchased a few items at the market (mainly mangoes) in order to make mango cobbler (tart), then set upon the task in hand when we got home! While the tart was baking away we did a 60 minute yoga workout (with the fan off in order to sweat out all those impurities from the night before) then it was yoga done, guacamole made, tart baked and the evening ahead was looking good...until the wildest of Ghanaian storms hit and with it so did lights out! 
Me doing 'warrior one!'
The beginning...

...the middle...
...the end!
