Field Trip, The North

October 20-24

The North feels good. We may have been making it all up but as our Tro went further North we felt the sun get better and the people nicer. The huts are round and pointy, people ride nice looking bicycles, it is more relaxed and less congested than the south, the land is flatter, still green at the moment but more like the plateau you might imagine here. It's Muslim but the women barley cover their heads and wear the most beautiful looking head scarves. Some of the most fashionable looking people... When we went to greet the chiefs everybody squats and claps while saying greetings. Tamale has sidewalks for bicycles too.
