Market

Fridays and Mondays are market days in Hohoe.

Today Margo took me to there and guided me around Hohoe. She is the US trainee to whom I wrote before I came here and helped me to make sure I brought the right things here.

As soon as we entered the market a woman who was selling fabrics came to us and asked us for a picture!

In and outside the marked kids call me and every white person obruni (white) and when we look at them they smile and wave.

At a certain point a man hold my hand and started a conversation:

-          Hey, what’s your name?

-          Constança

-          Ah Constance… ok. You’r from Spain?

-          Portugal.

-          Ah…! Are you married? Do you want to marry me?

-          Oh no… thank you – and I left.

I was told it’s going to happen a few more times…
