…was very busy. Some of our group members didn't really like to go to Hohoe because anything that started to stray from, like, the rural village community feel, it suddenly became very impersonal, people weren't as friendly, you know, people were it's, you know, the stuff starts to move faster pace the bigger the population gets, the more of a city atmosphere it is, so some people didn't really like Hohoe, but you go and there were lots of shops, lots of, you could buy clothes, you could buy toys and soap and there were like supermarkets there and stuff and then we'd go into the market, which was fresh food, there was like a fish market and there were vultures like flying around the top and stuff and meat markets and everything. We didn't go in there very often because most of the group, most of the group actually was vegetarian and most of our meals were vegetarian, as well. The people who did eat meat all they really ate was chicken and fish, and so we kind of steered clear of the strange meats that people sometimes get served in foreign countries. Of course, you know, meats that are strange to you.

(In answer to Sharon's question)

The atmosphere that we ate in? OK. I think I'd have to do some research for you before I tell you what the food was because I don't want to mess it up. But we would tell her ahead of time what we wanted to eat, so she wouldn't… The first night that she cooked for us, she served us like fish and stew, and in the United States when you're served fish, it's prepared, it doesn't look like a fish, but essentially, she gave us a bowl with a fish cut in half---head, eyes, tail and all---so one of my group members was like, oh, she got sick, she had to leave. And I don't eat meat, I don't eat fish, but there I was like, OK, I'm going to have to suck it up or else I'm going to be hungry for the rest of the night, so I ate. I picked the meat off the bones and she was watching me and she got sick and had to leave, but we were like OK no more fish for us, no more meat for us, and then so we ate (?) (which I'm sure I'm not pronouncing with the correct accent), but (?), (bon cu), (ah clay) and those three dishes. I'll have to get back to you specifically, but one is casaba and plantains mashed up and you dip it in a stew. It's very, very, (?) is very heavy on your stomach, so you shouldn't really eat that later in the afternoon, like around noon is good to eat it so you can, like, work it off the rest of the day. Another one of them is corn mashed up and another is casabas mashed up. I don't remember which is which, so I'll have to get back to you on that, but it was always served in a stew. Sometimes, we asked for like mushroom stew and we'd have (?) rice or (?) soup, ground nut soup, and so I loved, I loved the food, and there was actually a running joke. One of my group members was like, "Is there any food that you don't like?" And I ate the most in my group. I was the smallest in my group, but I ate the most. And the largest girl in my group ate the least. She was just a very picky eater, on top of being a vegetarian and, my group members, if they were, if they were full, they'd pass me their dishes and I'd finish their rice, I'd finish their meals, so I liked it. A lot of it was spicy. Couldn't necessarily handle the spicy stuff all the time. But I don't know, I don't know exactly what you're, what you're looking for, as far as describing the food. OK. Good. Good, good.
