Day 6: Sunday, July, 12, 2009

A Day at the Market and the Football Stadium - Today we started our day with a slow breakfast overlooking the ocean at the Akuma Village. The banana pancakes were especially good today, along with the fresh squeezed pineapple juice.

After breakfast we headed over to the National Cultural Centre, where the haggling began! Molly, Lori, Casey, Brad and I were able to find many local crafts and gifts for our friends back at home. Lori won the best bargain award today, with the acquisition of her solid wood elephant stool for 25 Cedis, instead of the initially suggested price of 50 Cedis. We attended a football match with local teams Mirren versus Chelsea. The crowd wasn't completely what I I was hoping for because the stadium was a bit empty, but it was still a good game nonetheless.

Dinner commenced with the five of us luckily being able to fit into one taxi whilst en route to Champs for Mexican food.

Stay Classy!
