Hello! It's been an eventful two weeks! Last time I told you about the Yam Festival. It was three evenings of fun and I made it to them all. Danced with my three little friends again too! The kente trip was nice too. And I got to eat a cocoa bean! It is very different from anything you would expect. There are many beans inside a pod growing on tree branches.
