We're Here!!!

It's Friday, and we are almost all here. We are jet lagged and waiting for 4 more members to arrive. Remember there is a very big time difference here in Africa. However, that did not stop our Deborah (Den Mother) from waking everyone up at 6am. I think this is something that she got innately from being born in Alabama!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

The buffet breakfast consisted of chicken sausages, waffles, fried bananas, beans, egg omelette's, fruit salad, fried tomatoes, hash. Regina's calculation of the Pina Colada was a little off to say the least. She thought it was $2.00 US when it turned out to be $24.00 US!!!!! Ouch! Regina was never good at math...Oh my she's controlling the BUDGET!!!

Kymberli and Tana arrived this morning from New York. Unfortunately, they couldn't find Betty from Habitat but somehow they made it to the hotel safely with all their luggage and a little worn out.

On Thursday evening Renee, Regina and Julia met with Cecilia from Nestlé Ghana who is a lovely person. They shared life stories over icy cold beverages. I wonder who paid for that bill??? I hope not Regina!

Deborah learned how to use her cell phone in another country! Yeah she can be in touch now!

Let's talk about the temperature. Can you say HOT!!! At 10pm it was 30 degrees Celsius 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The humdity is probably 200%!!!! Auuuugh. Now you see why we didn't complain about the cost of the cold beverages!

Here's a couple of pics of some of us lounging at the bar. (from left to right: Kristen and Douglas from USA, Julia, Renee and Regina from Australia)

That's if for now we leave tomorow at 6am. Look for the next update after our Orphanage visit on Sunday!
