Saturday, June 19, 2010

Today was a perfect day. Lately, sunny days are few and far between. I fee like its been raining for a week straight. On most days the rain doesn’t bother me because I'm stuck in the office all day anyways, but on the weekends I would prefer it to be sunny and today it was. Everyone who stayed in Elmina this weekend hung out at the pool all day. It was so relaxing.

Ghana played at 2:00pm and they showed in on a projector in the hotel so we went to watch it for a while. There were so many people crammed into this little room that you could hardly see the TV, but it was still so awesome just to be in that atmosphere.

I got to skype with my family today too. They were all together up north celebrating fathers day. It was nice to see and hear from everyone. However, after talking to them a hearing they were eating viennas for lunch I was jealous. Across the street from the house there is a vender who cooks and sells sausages so I ate one of them for dinner, but it just wasn’t the same.

There was also a peace rally in Cape Coast tonight for a man who was killed on may, 31. Nick, Ellen, Hilary, and I made our way out there. When we got to the peace rally nothing was really going on yet. The women in charge talked to us and said they were running on “Ghana Time” so everything was a little behind. We decided to go hit up this restaurant down the street called Oasis. They’re ended up being a mixed crowd of Obrunis and Rastas at the Oasis. Its funny because the white people here are not very friendly, it seems like they all think they’re Gods greatest gift to the world, or that they think what they are doing is better then what were doing. It’s actually really annoying. Why can’t people be genuine and be doing things because it’s the right thing to do, not so that they can one up someone else. The locals however were supper friendly. We ended up having such a good time at the Oasis hanging out with the locals we didn’t make it back to the peace rally.

Thing from home I'm missing most:
