Long Time No Post

Wow. It's been almost a moth since I posted last. I can't believe I've been here that long. I've had several pretty awesome trips since then.

I spent the night on a beach hut in Ada, about three hours from Accra. I can't even begin to describe how amazing the stars were. I havn't seen anything quite like that in my life. Swimming the the ocean here is pretty crazy. The undertow is the strongest I've ever seen. I was knocked over several times standing in less than knee deep water. (!)

We also took a trip to Cape Coast. The city there was much nicer than Accra. It's definitely a place I would love to go back to. There was a local festival going on, and our group was invited to participate in the parade! It was definitely an awesome experience and I had a great time. We visited Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle. The magnitude of the history that happened there is indescribable.

Finally I was able to volunteer and a local scool, and tomorrow I'll start volunteering at a orgphange.

Hopefully I'll be able to elaborate on all that more soon! Missing everyone.
