Running

We've been going everywhere,

We are still staying in our relatives house. There wasn't any water, sowe went out to go to the marketplace. Do you remember "Crazy Roads" post? Well, it's worse walking than driving.
    Ok, imagine a street with open gutters on either side. Now imagine the edges of the street to be crammed with four story buildings and tiny shack-like shops. Now imagine motorcycles driving to and fro, almost knocking you over. Oh I forgot; imagine no sidewalks at all. Now you can understand what we were walking through.
    So we walked through the chaos. What I liked about walking that was better than driving was that you were emmersed more in the city than when you are riding. We got some water, came back home, and made some soaking gari (remember?) with moi moi, and which is like a bean pudding, and accra, which is a bean batter deep fried. We ate that, and started our homeschooling. We've been homeschooling our whole life. After we finished some of that, we ate for lunch more smoking gari and moi moi.
    After we did that and just really goofed off, we went out again and looked in vain for some suya fish. Suya is beef and other meats grilled with a spicy seasoning. It's really good. There's suya, suya fish, and suya chicken. We were trying to find suya fish because my father said it was the best with smoking gari.
    We couldn't find any, but we did find suya chicken. My father said it wasn't the best with smoking gari, but it would do. But the suya chicken was super good anyway. Smoking gari is very filling, plus chicken made my stomach feel like it was going to burst. And we went and got some more. You can tell how stuffed I am!
