This photo is of the Central Mosque in downtown Tamale. While Ghana as a whole is 70% Christian, this northern region is 70% Muslim and the culture is Muslim. Ramadan began last Saturday. Jerry, Rose, and I were taking a taxi to town on Sunday and Jerry was chewing gum. The driver asked, "Aren't you fasting?" The daily calls to prayer are heard throughout the area, the first beginning at 4:30 am! We were asking our English students about their birthdays. Most of them do not know by our calendar dates. They only estimate them in relation to the number of "moons" before or after different Muslim festivals.
