On the weekend we invited some of our Ghanaian friends over for dinner for Warren's birthday. The girls - Rita, Latifa and Endurance cooked up a storm of kenkey (cornmeal balls) with fante fante sauce (fish and tomato), jollof rice and chicken, and hot pepper sauce.
The best part of our little party was that our friend Sandra gave Warren an African drum for his birthday. Its beautifully carved on the sides, and they took turns playing it while we all danced around the lounge room. It was really good fun! Although they all laughed hysterically at Warren and I trying to do African style dancing - I'm not so sure what was so funny about it? We thought we were doing a fairly good impersonation of them!
The funny thing is that African parties start and finish early - everyone came at 5pm and once everyone had eaten and done a bit of dancing, they all went home! So our party was finished by 8 o'clock at night! I'll try and put some video footage on here, but not sure if it will work or not....
