June 21 Monastery, Water Polo, Bar

Had a day off today. Went to the monastery in the morning and the rest of the afternoon at the only pool in town. Monastery was peaceful and beautiful. Mango trees, large spiders, and great rock formations. Looked a little like southern Utah. The pool was fabulous. There is one "nice" hotel in Sunyani and it has a pool. You can pay a few cedis to swim. They also serve pizza poolside. A little slice of heaven. We had a great water polo match with some locals. It got a little rough, no holds barred. My jaw, elbow, and other various places are pretty sore, but it was a ton of fun. 

The kitchen ladies made Red Red with fried plantains for dinner tonight. Delish. We have eaten ethnic every night. Most are pretty unique, like nothing we've tasted before. All wonderful.
After dinner, we walked to the local bar to watch the Ghana-Germany world cup match. Took a picture of Victoria Stephens ordering at the bar, first and last time that will ever happen. Exciting game, a tie is better than a loss.
