Organic farmers market

So there's been rumours going around about this organic market in the outskirts of Cape Coast. Last Friday we went to the post office, where the market is supposed to be, and walked around trying to find it. Turned out we went to the wrong post office (who knew there was more than one?!). So this Friday we checked the address once again and got dropped off after school in Adisadel, a few 10 minutes from town. As soon as we get off there's a man directing us to the other side of the road where a small little shop is filled with all the goods we wanted. Coconut oil, sesam seeds, sunflower seeds, pumkin seeds, almonds, sweet potatoes, spinach (!!!), basil and all these vegetables and stuff we haven't been able to find in Cape Coast. We ate some organic pineapple, bought vegetarian spring rolls and drank fresh smoothies. It's a very cool set up where different farmers just come and bring their fruits or oils or vegetables. There was even some herbal ayurvedic products to buy for cuts and other small wounds. Such a perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon and to quote Peter we were all getting a organic kick from it, singing our way out of there.

Other than that we are now entering our last week of lectures. The group paper period starts on Friday, which means that we will most days be based in Cape Coast or wherever we need to be for writing our paper. We are 4-5 people in each group, and everyone has really interesting topics; Water in Ghana, GMO, Fairtrade, Mangrove Forests and Noise Pollution. It's gonna be super fun to read everyones later on. Most of us will do some sort of field work which will include a little bit of travelling. It's gonna be quite nice having a little bit more freedom, setting up your own schedule and so. Don't get me wrong, Brenu is an amazing place and I will probably miss it in a week, but it is nice with some change. So we will be writing for three weeks and then it is kind of almost over. Sad but true. Still a lot of time to go though! Now I need to run down to the kitchen cause we're having cooking class tonight. Stay tuned for some yummy recipes. Elin
