I spend a lot of time writing about things that surprise me or that I find interesting and different about life in Ghana, but there are things that are almost exactly the same. The feel and excitement and trepidation of the first day of school is one of them. The twins below us started nursery school this week. The family 
was in quite a buzz getting two 3-year olds ready to go at the same time. Their little uniforms had to be acquired and washed and pressed and they needed little shoes (some of you might recognize them!) and backpacks.I love the look of dad walking them to school as the boys from the local junior secondary school finish their breakfast. M’atteh (Felicia) has her blue backpack and Atteh (Felix) his pink one. That is one refreshing difference here. Color is not fraught with gender insecurity here.
