So, that's just a taste of what I have so far in pictures. Yesterday, we started the real dance classes and it was crazy. It's so hot that I swear my body doesn't ever stop. I don't even have salt in my sweat anymore, just water. I love African dance, though. It's just an awesome feeling to dance barefoot to a set of drums right next to you and sweat dripping off of you. Doesn't sound awesome, but I swear it is.
This weekend we're going to Kejetia Market, the biggest market in West Africa, and having some clothes made by one of the girls' homestay mother. So, updates soon!
This looks like such an awesome experience, Tess. I'm sure you're having a very cool time. Miss you xx
