Today was quite spectacular. We started the day off by waking up and heading out to Jamestown, which is a place near the coast. There is a neat lighthouse there.
Our purpose in going there was to teach the Ga tribe our AIDS lessons. After some confusion with the taxis (trying to follow cars in Ghana is near impossible), we finally got to the school. The group we taught was a bunch of girls that are learning different trades while progressing their education. They were quiet at first, but by the time we left they were all over us. Literally. I was a bit scared, I'll admit.
Those pictures do not come even close to portraying the pandemonium. After getting through the mob, we came back to the Pink Hostel and had lunch. There is a great Spaghetti Calamari dish that is a favorite. We then went to the Grey Memorial school and taught our usual classes for a short time. The kids are really getting attached to all of us, as are we to them.
Ashley is thoroughly enjoying this moment.
The remainder of the day was a blast. It was Mindy's birthday, and since she is such a great person, we celebrated by going to dinner at Rhapsody's. (one of the best restaurants around).
We all ordered fabulous dishes, and had great desserts. Then we made it to the 6:30 showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!!! We all agreed that it was very well done. Who knew we'd wrap up the series in Africa?
