It’s been a while since we have blogged, so we figured it was about time to provide an update on all our adventures. We actually haven’t been to the internet cafÈ for some time. Things on the HIV education side of things are going really well. We have only one more day of actual intervention before we administer the post-program survey. It’s crazy knowing we are almost finished here! Last week we taught the students how to use condoms. The students were surprisingly mature and well behaved through the entire lesson. Below are some pictures of intervention. This weekend we traveled to Kokrobite Beach. It wouldn’t be Ghana without some type of travesty with our travel transportation. We were supposed to leave on Friday night, but when we saw the line of 50 plus people long all waiting for the same tro tro we knew it might be a while. After 45 minutes of waiting, and still no tro tro in sight, we bagged the idea and decided to go in the morning. Instead we treated ourselves to a nice Italian dinner in Osu. The following morning we got up early, and with relative ease, made it to Korkrobite. We stayed at Big Milly’s Backyard, which we were highly impressed with. We spent a lot of time at the beach reading our books and getting a little sunburned. It was a nice relaxing break from the city. The only downfall of Big Milly’s was the small double sized bed we shared and the mesh curtain separating the bedroom and the bathroom. Needless to say, we are getting quite comfortable with each other. We met some other travelers who have a sweet Land Rover they drove from England and are touring the world for the next 6 years. Their set up seemed pretty intense and it made us dream of doing more traveling. Courtney leaves in less than a week and Lori is off to Nigeria shortly after. We can’t believe how time has flown here in Ghana. Things are beginning to feel like “home” here. We are starting to get anxious for the things we are missing in the States and have taken the liberty to finally starting dreaming of those things (prior to this point, it would have just been depressing). Anyway, we will keep you posted on our final adventures!
Again, thanks for all the donations. This is us with the Kindergarten (KG) group with their new t-shirts! They were so excited!!!

Our Ghanaian skirts and dresses. Lori is wearing a fairly common style.
Kokrobite Beach. All the African boys were running around swimming naked and the sandy butts were hilarious.
