A different city

So it turns out we're going to Tamale, not Kumasi. Whoops. If you are looking at our map, it's sort of in the northeast part. Tamale has a population of 350,000. Apparently lots of the people there are Muslim. I do think it's funny to be going to a city with a name that is a food in English (not Spanish, the Spanish name for the food is tamal). I don't imagine that we will be eating very many (any) tamales in Ghana, unfortunately. Unless I make them.

Tamale apparently has really cold mornings and really hot afternoons, because it's close-ish to the Sahara. I'm not too worried about this, because "really cold" apparently means 59 degrees fahrenheit. Coming from Provo in February, it'll feel just fine.
