In Ghana, sandals seem to be called slippers. I have some of my favorite slippers here in Ghana. I have been super gluing my black sandals since November. I finally had to throw them out after I walked home in them after they tore so badly, there was no way I could super glue them back together again.

My very favorite of all time sandals are on their way out, too. They hurt my heels so badly, that I have to keep bandages on the sandals to provide the extra padding I need to wear them.

This shiny pair of flip flops broke while I was in Esiem at a funeral. I only had one pair of shoes with me. The thong broke when I hit a small small step. I picked up the sandal and was told that some boy in the village could fix it. 30 Pesewas (or about $.08) later, they are good to go!
