Ouagadougou

Ouagadougou


A really good weekend featuring:

A chocolate croissant
An apple flambe
French bread with Philadelphia
Overly persistent market sellers
One overly persistent racist market seller
Leather bangles for Rachael
Two strikes in bowling
Two days in a old nunnery, now hostel, still run by nuns
A lovely cathedral
Lots of French
Maisel about to smack a market seller
Dan eating Chinese (The food, not the people)
A cheese omelet
Lemon sorbet
French Wachi (no sauce, more salt and oil)
An air conditioned supermarket solely designed for rich people
CFA (roughly 1000-1.50)
A thoroughly good time

I had a great time and am glad I decided to change my mind and go!

Is the food the only reason you went or do we get the diarised version of what you actually did. Can't believe your only highlight is the food!!

Any chance of some WOODEN bangles for Rachael???

yo joeleena
mother has now shown me hw to use this blog, it is very strange and this is the first time I have used a blog before so be impressed.
what ru doing with all this food? u r eating better then me. now that inflation has gone through the roof and food prices are increasing by an average of over 13% we are living off bread (white and stale) and rain water. u may want to stay in ghana.
I think I would like to go to ghana, I think I would get a great tan, are there any local hotels with nice pools?
what are the visa rules?
what r my earning potentials?
would I be able to afford to go to the supermarket for rich people? do they sell oreos?
what else do u do when u r not eating or sleeping?
love from rachael
