Alan and I joined his colleagues at a St. Patrick’s Day party last Friday that the Irish Society of Ghana put on. There were about 200 expats from all over the world in attendance. Alan’s company was one of the sponsors so there was plenty of beer and liquor. Although we were really looking forward to the party it was a bit of a disappointment mostly because it was unbearably hot! It was unfortunately held at an outside venue with no breeze except for the few ceiling fans that the attendees fought for space under. Everyone, women and men, were soaked in sweat and even the cold beers didn’t help cool us off. It wasn’t really the way you wanted to meet people and make first impressions but we made the most of it and afterwards checked out an Italian owned restaurant/bar were we enjoyed a drink in the much needed air conditioning.
