We woke up at Stumble Inn this morning and had eggs and toast for breakfast. They had really good food, but they didn’t have real coffee, which was kind of a let down. After breakfast I took a nap in a hammock. It was cloudy all day so we all kind of took it easy and relaxed. We played cards and hung out until lunch, ate lunch and headed back to the house.
Ghana and the U.S. played in football today. We all went to the shell station that’s pretty much right behind our house to watch the game. They had a big projector screen and projected the game on the side of the building. I wore my Ghana gear and was rooting for Ghana the entire time. Ghanaians who were watching the game assumed that since we’re white we were cheering for the U.S. even though we were totally decked out in Ghana gear. For the most part everyone was pretty nice, but there were a couple guys who thought it was necessary to blow one of those horns right in our ears.
When the game was finally over and Ghana won people went nuts. Everyone was running around screaming and cheering. People were so excited. I was so happy they won because it means so much more to people here. If the U.S. would have won not very many people would have even known let alone cared, they definitely wouldn’t have responded the way everyone here did.
