HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING
I hope that everyone had themselves an amazing Thanksgiving and ate lots of yummy food. I know that I did.
Joelle and I just got back from Accra Ghana...aka heaven. It really is the most amazing place on earth. They have huge several story buildings, and real paved roads, and cheese- like actual cheese. And they have over passes. I didn't know what to do with myself when I got there.
But it was a great time. We met up with two of our friends that have moved there and are living and working in Ghana now and it was great to see them again. And we spent lots of time in air conditioning and taking showers with hot running water and watching CNN. It was all around the perfect trip. I would post pictures but literally we didn't do anything worth taking pictures of so I have none to share. I plan to go back again soon (and frequently)so I shall take some pictures soon. I promise.
Other than that things are going well. I've been really busy traveling around and doing lots of Peace Corps things. We just finished a week long bike ride 144km in 4 days (AIDS Ride). It was really fun and I am actually becoming a biker which is fun. It def helped me with my confidence in French too standing up in front of hundreds of people in different villages talking about the ABC's of AIDS (Abstinance/Abstinence, Bonne Fidelite/Being Faithful, and Condoms--- crazy how it works in different languages like that huh?) But yeah it was great.
And I am down in Lome now for my mid-service medical exam which should be interesting to see what kind of fun things I have going on. I just recently got tumbu fly bites meaning that something laid eggs and then hatched in me. Pretty yummy huh?
And I am in Lome now until Friday and Wednesday is our 45th Anniversary of being in Togo. Fun fact for all of you - Togo is the longest running uninterupted Peace Corps program. Meaning that the second group of volunteers ever went to Togo and we haven't left yet! So we are celebrating with a big party and people from DC are coming. All the volunteers (well lots of them) are coming down here too so it should be fun. Ok well here are some pictures for you to enjoy and keep checking cause I will update again soon!
LOVE TP
