Umm, so yeah, I forgot my camera again. I will remember to bring it!!

Hi everybody,

So for those who are concerned about the lack of pictures once again, and probably are now convinced that I actually lost my camera (cough, cough MOM) I have not. I failed to mention that on Sunday I went to a market in Medina (a neighboring town) and since pick-pocketing is always a concern in any market anywhere, I was careful to only bring the things I really needed (aka my camera). I carefully placed my camera in my suitcase where it wouldn't suffer any damage, but where I would also not see it sitting around and remember to place it in my bag again. So yeah now that that is out of the way...

Yesterday, I went and bought fabric for two dresses I am having made!! In Ghana it is generally cheeper to buy fabric and have clothing custom-made. Fabric costs about $3.00 (5 cedis) a yard and then a tailor costs between 6 and 9 cedis per article of clothing depending on how complicated the design is.
