Swedru!

slow computer, not much time left so I'll be quick!

Jocelyn finally arrived on tuesday night, and we spent the next few days in Accra with her doing her orientation. We left on Saturday to Swedru, a smaller town (100 - 200 000) west of Accra.

Staying with a family outside of town, several brothers / sisters around, all older (19 +)

Water shortages are no longer an issue, as there's no running water in the house. A tap near the school gives water to bath, and a hole nearby for, well, everything else. It's quite a neat place, lizards running all over the place.

There's a school next door, sat in on a class today, and got up and talked about Canada. Kids in North America are spoiled, I'll say that for sure.

Slow computer, blurring screen, I'll put pics up when I find a better one. Hope all is well, I'll be in touch!

Start work tomorrow....

You aren't missing much here as far as the weather goes - think I'd take the heat - of course with modern conveniences!!! Love how you 'shower' - rivers must seem inviting . . . the market places really intrigue me - so much for thinking that the Saturday AM Market here is rustic!!
