Today was such a nice relaxing day! Last night Holly slept in the bunk above me which is normally empty and Sam put a matress on the floor and slept there. It was fun to have a sleepover with all four of us in one room! We all slept in until around 9 which was amazing, that rarely happens here. We had a nice morning not doing much. Sam and I went on a nice walk down the road in the morning which I enjoyed. The rest of the morning I finished up some homework and read a little of my book. Mr. Ansari, who we are staying with, came home from Accra with his wife. His wife had been gone since we have been here. She was so nice and friendly. Around lunch time a few of us went to the local grill to have lunch which was really good. We took a Tro Tro there and on the way home the chief of police, who was also at the grill, had his driver drive us home which was cool. After that I did more homework then ate dinner. Mrs. Ansari made us dinner and, it was pretty good! Ever since she had been home she has bene scrubbing down the kitchen (which need it), and cleaning up everything; its been funny. After dinner I just hung out with some of the girls. Today was a nice relaxing day which was well needed. The rest of the week is looking like this: Monday-work on presentations, Tuesday-Give community and professional presentations, Wednesday-Talk to the local school and hang out with the children and have our good-bye dinner, Thursday-Pack up and go to the waterfall (I'm super excited for this!!!) and spend the night in Accra (and go out), Friday-Do last minute shopping (cultural center, Global Mama;s =, and go to the place where they make the caskets in all different shapes and things) and leave to fly home! and Saturday-Arrive in Detroit! Can't wait to see you all! :)
PS today has been cold! I have been wearing my sweatshirt all day! Who would have thought? lol
Hey Christine,, Sounds like you had a good day. I was talking to one of the NDP parents who is a nurse and does alternative meds and she wants to hear about the bone setter. I hope you have fun today! So when the police chief had someone drive you home was it in a police car? Just asking. Love you lots! Can't wait to see you. I have a lot of questions. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO MOM
ReplyDeleteHey Christine! I have loved reading about all of your African adventures. The cross cultural experiences and boundaries you have met sound like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can't wait to chat once you get home and recover. :) Your cuz. Danny.
