Cheers to Ghana!!!!

I LOVE Ghana!!! Everyone here is extremely nice and welcoming. They all want to be our friends and right when we get outside of the port we are bombarded with hands to shake and names to learn.
The first day we were here we went on our first SAS trip and saw the Castles and Slave dungeons. The whole tour was unreal. The castles were beautiful, but the stories were very sad and depressing. We also had lunch at this crazy beach hotel, and it was sooo good. There was also a show with drummers and dancing it was very cool to watch and gave you a boost of energy. The men were so ripped, it was crazy. They were doing flips and standing on each others heads. That night we went out and had a lot of fun at this local bar hanging out with a mixture of SAS kids and locals.
Yesterday we did Habitat for humanity!!! We drove 3 hours away and then walked like 15 minutes in to the jungle to the work site. It was crazy I actually laid bricks and mortared them together. We got pretty far, but there was a lot more to do. A bunch of children from the village came to watch us work, and we took a break to give them my silly bands and played games with them. I started duck duck goose and everyone loved it. By the end we had the circle then a larger circle around us watching consisting of mothers and other people from the ship.
Today we are sitting at a beach hotel, and it is raining so there isn't too much we can do. We want to go to the market and look at all the kente clothes and drums so we will see if that happens. Tomorrow the plan is to go on a canopy tour of the rainforest so I am pretty excited for that!!! Everyone who had already been says it is super cool.
I may kill my finance class. I didnt bring a financial calculator with me and have been trying to put on on my itouch because our professor said it was alright. But it has turned out to be a huge deal and I have to do all these updates and what not which is hard when you have limited internet access. Basically Headache!!!
Loving all of our new friends. It feels like we have known each other for ever, but miss everyone at home too. The thing I miss the most though is SD food. We have multiple conversations with everyone from San Diego about what we need to eat. California burrito, Urbane, In-n-out, Sara's, JVs...... the list is very long. Sooo friends I expect a feast as soon as I step off of the ship!!

Love love
