Day 86

Boxing Day.

Hannah and I were looking forward to a trip to Navrongo to visit Mary, a former volunteer from Ireland, and eat TURKEY! However, my tummy wasn’t in agreement, so we had a quiet day in the house watching Christmas films then drinking pito.

Pito is a local beer made from red maize. It is drunk from a calabash. It is normally a bit warm and has sediment in it, but is quite tasty. I’m not sure all of my education office colleagues would agree with drinking it as it’s a bit of a working man’s drink, but I indulge from time to time. 20 pesewas for a wee calabash (about 8 pence).
