Rainy Season!

Ghana is in their rainy season now- and today was our first experience with the rain. It was a downpour like we have never seen before. Because we are novice in the Ghanaian ways, we didn't shut our windows before walking to work....thankfully Pat was gracious enough to drive me back home so I could close the windows. Apparently when she left her windows open once she came home to floating suitcases. Thankfully, the rain brought much cooler weather, which is a great break from the swealtering heat we have been experiencing.

We also got to explain to the staff about our program. This made us feel a little more confident about what we came to do. Tomorrow, we administer the survey to the children and begin!

We had kelewele for the first time tonight. Everyone raves about how fantastic kelewele is- and it lived up to it's hype. Kelewele is a type of platain fried with spice. It was really cheap and we will probably go back in the future for more.

We are still having issues with the computers and uploading pictures, but the problem should be resolved later this evening.

Signing off to plan our weekend adventure to Cape Coast. Pat gave us Monday off because Tuesday is a holiday so we are going to enjoy a nice long weekend at the beach, the stilt village, and the national park, Kakum!

  1. I know you are having issues with photos, but take pics of the food when you can. I'd love to see what that kelewele looks like.
