Greetings! I have now left the coco college and have been traveling around Ghana for the past 2 weeks and have just started this adeventure, but first.....I have been to my site.....and i like it a lot!!!!!!! So to get to my site you have to cross Lake Volta on a ferry or a fast boat, and it takes around 30 mins to cross it, so its not to wide...thank goodness. So once you get to the other side, you have another 1.5 hours of traveling till you get to the next biggest town.....my Martet town...where i will buy just about anything that i might need.
Well, now we are in this large town (and when i say large think of those who know it....prob. around the size of Nashville, IN) from my this town, we take the only road that goes to my town for about another 30 mins. Its the picture that i posted before this one. Depending on the amount of rain we get, the road can either be relativily calm to a nightmare...so it all depends on monther nature...and how good the shocks are on your vehical (general....there are no shocks....so its more like a roller coaster ride). Than we get to my tiny town of mem chemfre! It is very small and quiet and amazing! there are no stores or anything; all the houses are off the main road in the trees a bit more. The landscape is...its hard to describe...there are mountains (or really like larger hills) on either side of me, so its always green here, but flat in my area, I will do try to post more pictures of it next time i got ( When i swear in as an Offical Peace Corps Volunteer).
I will be living ina very secure compound with some teachers, so thats lovely.....I have one room and a kitchen. I also have a flush toliet all to myself and running water at certian times of the year!!!!! WHAT!!!!!! I was not expecting is at all!!! So that is very nice...Its a good combo of true PC living and some awesome amenaties!!
Ok, so here is the skinny on the next 3 weeks or so, the NRM crew is gonna be traveling all around Ghana, so i get to FINALLY see the north, which i am super excited about!!!! i will let know what what all is going on next time I get internet...so who knows when! But i hope everyone is having a Fantastic time where ever you are!!!!!!
That sounds so cool!! I like the pictures, you should post some more. Have you seen any wildlife out there? Is your PO BOX address the same to write to you? I MISS YOU TOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
