Here today, Ghana Tomorrow

Writing quickly to tell everyone not to panic. Still alive! Ghana is chaotic and wonderful. So dirty but so inspiring. We just returned from a trip to Accra, where we went to two schools and did artwork with children. Hopefully I'll be able to get around some internet soon and upload some pictures, because you can't believe it until you see it. And I feel even with as much explanation and description as I can give, it still won't do it justice. I'll try.

The water has been shut off every night on the ship in Ghana from 10 pm until 6 am. It wasn't a problem until tonight, when we got home at 11:30 pm and there was no running water, the bar to buy water bottles was closed, and security made us dump everything we had with us to make sure we weren't smuggling alcohol on board. We changed into our bathing suits, got our soap, and went to take baths in the pool. It will do until the water comes back on in the morning. And it was funny.

I think I'll break Ghana down into the 5 senses or something, because describing this country is complicated and on the brink of impossible. Look for the first post tomorrow, probably sometime after we leave port.
