3rd Wheel

Sometimes I like to be the third wheel. I mean honestly it is usually pretty entertaining to basically be a fly on the wall on someone else’s date. Lucky for me this last week I had the opportunity to be the 3^rd wheel! So first I would like to thank Rachel for allowing me to go on her date with Bernardo!  

I was pretty anxious to see how a date would work in Ghana, I mean would it be the same or different? I was not sure. Let me give you a rundown of this wonderful date. First, off we got to go into Accra, which is always happiness. Unfortunately, we did not get any pizza on this trip which is what we normally do in Accra. Before the date officially started we played lots of card games, which is a great way to pass time here in Africa.

For dinner Bernardo took us to a super nice restaurant which sort of had American food at it. So he obviously gets a gold start for that. Actually Bernardo gets a gold star just for letting me come along to be honest! Mostly during dinner I just people watched, as there were lots of expats having dinner at the restaurant. I didn’t want to interrupt the dinner conversation.

After dinner we went to the MOVIES! Yay! I miss the movies so much! We went to Jack the Giant Slayer. I had not really seen previews for it before I came, but the movie was actually surprisingly great. Also I got to check going to a movie in another country off my bucklist, which is great.

When we got back to the office where we spend the night when we are in Accra, I politely excused myself to bed so I wasn’t present for the whole date. Hopefully before I come home I can go on a date of my own and will not have to be the third wheel again. All in all I would say that date went pretty well. I wish I would have taken a picture of all of us but I forgot…next time though I will for sure!
