Because it's a 3 hour drive from Accra, Ghana's capital city, to Cape Coast, where I'm staying, Sarah decided it would be best if we stayed in a hotel the night I arrived and took a van to Cape Coast the following morning. Here are my very first pictures from Ghana, showing off my hotel room. I enjoyed a wonderful breeze all night and in the morning woke up to the sound of the barking guard dog, a German Shepherd that reminded me of Casey, my childhood dog and best friend growing up. Sarah and I enjoyed a quick breakfast consisting of toast and jam and some tea before heading off to Cape Coast. I had my hands full with my luggage to snap any pictures but we were surrounded by people trying to get in the right van heading for Cape Coast. It was exciting and somewhat scary but we made it. I learned all about Sarah's life abroad (in the last 9 years she's only spent 2 years living in the U.S. and that was with teach for America!) and further realized how great of an asset she's going to be while her in Ghana.
My bed. Notice the curtains blowing as well as the sweet fufu ball on my luggage, thanks to my Grandma Lesch ; )
Thankfully, Sarah reminded me that they do not flush their toilet paper in Ghana...
Hot water showers are hard to find but they really aren't needed. The quick shower I took was quite refreshing, thanks to the obscenely high humidity that I'm thankfully somewhat used to.
More coming soon...
