We landed Saturday night at 6:55 pm. After weaving through customs, grabbing our luggage(phew), we were greeted by our collegue Eben, the Director of ICRI Ghana. As we drove to our hotel, although night had fallen, Accra was filled with crowded streets, festive music and natives carrying lots of wares on their heads. The rest of the evening was filled with getting settled, covering our beds with mosquito nets, and oh yes, watching Italy win their first game in the World Cup! We were asleep before our heads hit the pillow.
Welcome to Ghana!
Streets of Accra
Sunday was filled with a British breakfast of hot dogs and red beans, bad coffee and a tour of Accra. As we toured Accra, we spotted an Italian shop which we anxiously entered in search for coffee! We finally got some decent espresso at this coffee shop where Giulietta stirred up conversation with another fellow Italian from Tuscany. The rest of the day was spent preparing for the training of the teachers and enjoying an outdoor meal on the beach until jet lag hit us.
We are now off for our first day of training and looking forward to what's in store!
Sweet dreams America!
