The Last Few Days In Accra

Thursday we had some more Twi lessons and then Anna and I went to the beach again boggie boarding for the last time :( We had to leave there pretty quickly though because we were attracting quite a crowd and everyone wanted to get their picture taken with us. Today we did the "amazing race" where we had to race around the city doing different taks which was very crazy. The markets here are insane! Tonight we just hung around for the last night with all of the staff and two of the volunteers that were just ending their trip stopped by. They were a couple and as soon as they got there the guy asked me if I lived in Calgary and after I said yes he asked me if I went to Bishop OByrne because he did to....small world. And then I was talking to his girlfriend about what she was doing lately and she is going to UVic next year to take Biochemistry....weird haha. So we sat out there talking and telling stories for a long time and it is just so bizarre to meet someone from my high school in my grade for the first time in Ghana!

Tomorrow we are heading of to our placements in the morning. It is about a 6 1/2 hour drive to Kumasi and then an hour to Anna's village and then another half hour to mine from hers. I am so excited to finally get there. I met the other girl who will be working there for the first 2 weeks with me and she loves it so Im really excited. She is a really cool girl but her friend just moved up there (because she got kicked out of her placement) and she is definitely not a nice person! And I was all excited because I was told I was getting my own little apartment like thing in a complex with my own bedroom and bath and a small fridge. But now that the girl is in my room I have no idea where I will be living so that will be interesting. I might live with the nurses which will be fine so we will see. Anyways I will talk to you again when I get a chance. There is no internet in my town but there is about a 10 min cab ride away which is about a 10 cent trotro ride so I will go there in a few days. xoxox
