In Ghana

Hi!

So i've made it to ghana...we left the states last tuesday at 6 pm from jfk. we being dennis and me. we spent a day in madrid wandering around and in a museum, lots of fun though it was very cold there. The next day we flew to Morocco. There were no incredibley cheap plane tickets to Ghana as we thought there would be, so we went to the Hotel Gallia for the evening to think and plan. We ate an amazing dinner of couscous, tarrine, and mint tea that night which made up for the scuzziness of out hotel. Anyway, the next day we talked to people about the possibility of taking buses, boats, or a rental car to Ghana. All sounded like bad ideas, so we went back to the airport, got our tickets and flew to Accra.

We arrived in Accra at 2:30 saturday morning. We had no plan as of yet, so we decided to sleep in the airport until the sun came up. There were no chairs or benches, so we found a spot under a table and tried to sleep. Around 4:30 am, a gaurd woke us up asking if we were the two white guys waiting to be picked up. We said no, we didn't think so, but we turned out to be wrong! Wahab, our amazing friend from the states had gotten the message we sent telling him we were flying to his native Ghana and arranged for his brother-in-law, Iddrisu to pick us up!!!

The three of us made our way to the bus station in Accra and rode to Sunyami, where Iddi lives with his wife/Wahab's sister, Sadiya. We had fufu and groundnut soup for dinner and then went to our hotel for the night.

WE MADE IT!!
