So the time in Ghana is coming to a close, and we're lining up our next adventures. We decided to take friday off to head north, had a big plan to go north to Kumasi. Left thursday afternoon, 4 hour bus to Takoradi, showed up at the train station for the overnight train and no lights were on. Someone said "the train runs everyday...but not today. Come back tomorrow". The next day we went, no train, no bus, had to change our plans. (Incidentally, apparently we're not the first to fall for the train the guidebook talks about, and it hasn't been running for over a year!)
Oh well, we were on the coast, took advantage of it. Went to a beach guesthouse, and relaxed all weekend. Swam in the ocean, no one else around, good times. A nice getaway.
Works been slow, so I've been jumping around between other projects. Started doing some stuff with a local orphanage, got swarmed by kids when I visited. Went yesterday to two schools to teach HIV / AIDs awareness, got some interesting questions. It got hotter this week, didn't think that was possible, and am having a hard time adjusting!
I'm almost out of time, I'll write more later. tata!

Sounds like you are enjoying and learning . . . no beach getaways here - more like sitting beside a roaring fireplace just for the warmth! New adventures await - can't wait to see what they are!
