ellefliesHello from Ghana.
Just checking in to say hi. This trip has been a lot more boring then I'd like it to be. Mostly because being a tourist is expensive and the stuff I REALLY want to do is out of my price range, so I've been stuck going to the market and having African men think that instead of being in the market for jewelry, I'm actually in the market for an African man. It sure does seem that they are all in the market for an American sugar-momma. Even when I tell them that I don't have money, they seem to think that I'm lying and I've got it laying around in heaps back in the states. *snort* like I'm really going to buy a guitar for a man I just met on the beach selling jewelry. Riiiiight. Although, walking along the beach without a buddy, I really was asking for harassment. Note to self: Never do that again.
I like being a woman, but there are times when I envy men and how easy they have it sometimes. Here, the men aren't harassed nearly as much as the woman. If a man were walking along the beach, he'd probably be left alone, but stick me in there and it's like flies on honey. Grrrrr. I really shouldn't be complaining about being in Africa. *g*
The next time I come, I'm definitely budgeting for the super-tourist trip. If they aren't going to send me to the African countries I really want to go to (specifically: Namibia. I really want to see the Namib Desert) then I'm going to have to make the most of where I am.
