Osu



We finally had a nice enough day to go to Osu today (third times a charm). It was both very fun and rather irritating. Osu is a touristy part of town where they have lots of good restaurants, sell souvenirs, and have a really nice fabric store. We looked around in the little shops and spent some time buying things we needed or wanted (including Ghana soccer jerseys we will be wearing to the Sunday afternoon soccer games). After a few hours of being hassled by street vendors we got irritated with the shopping experience and settled for lunch at a little outdoor restaurant...where I drank the best juice of my life. Yesterday when we went out to eat on campus I had issues getting fruit juice (there was
slight miscommunication between apple juice and pineapple juice and after a while the waiter just didn't seem to want to give me juice at all) so I was very excited when I tasted the pineapple-orange fruit juice mix the waiter in Osu made especially for me, it was the best juice I have ever had in my life. When I go back to Osu, that is what I will buy (granted it stays down all night...we're wary of saying any food is good until we realize that we still feel good the next day).
