So i have been in Ghana now for 2 weeks. So much has happened and yet everyday we have a lot of down time. Fortunately we have a great group of people from all over the US of all different age groups that make passing the hours of waiting a lot of fun. I have already learned new card games and the book exchange amongst us up and running.
We flew into Accra and have since stayed at a women's Adventist College, various hotels in Kukurantumi, and tomorrow we all move to small communities outside of Kukurantumi to really begin our training. We have yet to learn the technical componants of our jobs and have only discussed our health and saftey at ad nasium, but it's good that the Peace Corps takes these issues so seriously. Also I have gotten 3 shots with more to come. And of course I'm taking my malaria pills. I'll be kicked out if I don't. Also, I don't want malaria, I hear it's not very pleasent.

Diane: It sounds like you have experienced quite a lot in those two weeks! Some travel...some shots...some new card games...and of course those malaria pills! How is Kukurantumi? The photos I saw posted on another blog were very pretty! Have you been bike shopping...or is that something you will do once you are relocated to a smaller community? What have you been eating? I am curious about all the things you are experiencing! I am glad that you have been getting to know your fellow PC'rs. Have you met DJ Burke? I came across his blog and he was on the same flight as you from JFK to Accra! I commented on his blog and left a message to his mom. I found him because he actually commented on your blog! What a circle! :) I love you and hope all is well! 2GC per day while in training! Don't spend it all in one place! :) Love, Dad
