Veggimate vs. Choco Delight

Well, let's think about that for just a second. Which sounds better? Well so you can make an informed decision Veggimate is basically yeast spread which tastes like salty brown goop and Choco is short for chocolate. All I can say is they must have known I was coming because there is all the Choco Delight I could dream of.
Today in the land of Hohoe,(Ho-way) we had some more orientation. Not the most exciting, and then we visited the markets. I always enjoy going and visiting the markets and seeing the variety of things being sold there. I both some fabric which I am hoping to take to a tailor tomorrow to have dress made. There were all sorts of things from fish in all forms, headless to body parts, purses from a Thai rice bag and all sorts of fabrics. After the market, it seemed as though we walked around the entire town of Hohoe to get to the bank. So lucky for us we got to continue our "white parade" becoming even more familiar with the shouts of "Yevu" (white person). One day I'll remember the response of "black person" in Ewe to shout back at them.
After our journey around the town, we had a traditional drumming and dancing festival. It was a very cool time to see their traditional dances. I think however, the real reason why they wanted to come perform for us was to see the white people who don't know how to dance. Well we tried anyway and sure enough the had a good laugh. It was fun regardless.
