so its been a week and i totally can't believe it. sorry i haven't updated yet, but the internet here is really unreliable. it was really hard at first but its totally amazing now. we did the canopy walk in kakum national park & visited the elmina castle today. we're at a place called the coconut grove now in elmina. we head back to hohoe tomorrow. its an 8hr drive. placement was horrible the 1st day but now i love it. everyone is so awesome here. i love pretty much all the other volunteers. i love my kids at school. all the kids (& some adults too) around town call us "yevo" which means white person, but its not derogatory at all. its really funny. fun fact about hohoe, they love the backstreet boys & celine dion. its hilarious. the food it good & there's this stuff here called "fanmilk". its ice cream in a plastic wrapper & the vanilla tastes like cake batter ice cream. its delicious. i'll try to update soon. now that i kinda have a feel for things i'll go to the internet cafe more. i have to go cause other people need the computer. i'll try to post pictures but i've been told the internet doesn't really allow it. i'll type up my journal entries & post them. i miss you all!

p.s. the men here are ridiculous. they are so absurdly flirtatious & persistent. and often quite attractive

Schmab: *YOU* are awesome! You are far more adventurous than I ever was, and it sounds like you are making the most of it. You are touching the lives of many people and learning from them just as they are learning from you. Keep up your sense of humor and enjoy every minute of this amazing time.
