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.

Amazing- you're going to cherish these experiences for a lifetime. You know, I've always wanted to see the stars in areas where there are no big city lights around for hundreds of miles. Cabo stars were pretty, but we still had the city and hotel lights. I'm jealous of all this fun and enlightenment you get to experience! Stay safe... xo
