May 24. Playing soccer in a sauna

After work today I played soccer at the British High Commission’s “Grasscutters Club.” We played 5-on-5 with no goalies on their tennis court, which is made of artificial turf. There were some good players out there and it was a lot fun. It was also very tiring, especially so because of the high humidity. I was drenched in sweat within the first few minutes.

Afterwards, Duncan and I headed over to a free concert at Independence Square in honour of the birth of Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of the independent state of Ghana. There Duncan and I met up with fellow couchsurfer Nicholas and a few of his friends. It was a great atmosphere and good music, although the five minute fashion shows interspersed between musical acts were a bit odd. We ended up staying until the concert ended at 3am.
