Our tro-tro broke down. Luckily I had just bought a soccer ball, so we played with the kids while the driver fixed the tro-tro

I can't believe how fast time is running out here. We have about 3 weeks of research left before we head up to Molle National Park then to Accra then to America. So three weeks left to finish everything! I've been trying to review my notes and going over everything this week to make sure I get it all done and it's going to be a stretch. It's rough too, because now everyone here knows us and wants to talk and help us and we're really in a perfect position to get everything done, but we're so near the end of our time! I've been trying to get all the interviews done that I can though.
One thing I really love about Ghanaian culture is that everyone is everyone's brother or sister or son or daughter. When someone says good morning to you, you respond by saying "Yaa Agya" or "Yaa Ena" refering to the person as father or mother. It's been really good to have a close relationship with everyone. Little kids will come running at full speed from 100 yards away when they see us coming just to say hello and give us a handshake or a hug and ask us if we are doing well. Our house is right behind one of the primary schools so everytime we walk to the clinic we are mobbed by hundreds of Ghanaian children! I'll get some pictures up here soon. We've had the experience recently of going to an orphanage in Mampong and attending a graduation ceremony at the local university and a hundred other things that happen everyday. We had a "political party" here on the 5th after the elections and made kosher hot dogs, mashed potatoes, and watermelon. Long live the USA! I will never be able to do this experience justice by writing a log because the sights, sounds, smells and everything here are just so unique and interesting. I'll try to post some more pictures here soon.
