So far in Ghana

Ghana has an energy and water shortage so they have planned "outages" to save energy. Today was one of the planned outages, it's supposed to be from 6am to 6pm but everyone said that it ends up going till around 11pm. Yesterday since we knew that, we stayed up till 1 working on the computers. There are 16 working computers and 3 more set up but aren't working. There's a closet with dead computers and monitors so Robert and I were going to open the computers and see if there was any memory. The computers were Dell and they always have the weirdest release mechanisms. We looked at the first computer and couldn't figure out how it opened so we were going to pry it open with a flat blade screw driver but we didn't have any. That closet also had other random things in it and we found some spoons. We ended up using the spoons to pry 3 computers open and then we found the release button. We felt pretty silly but got some good laughs out of it.

Today we got up and had breakfast and went back to sleep, then got up again and ate lunch. The cooks here are so nice and they cook great meals. After lunch we walked around VOH to measure the distance from the computer lab to the clinic, the clinic to the directors house, and the directors house to the computer lab. We might direct our wireless antennas to reach all the way to the directors house or we might set up a couple antennas to "leap frog" to the directors house. After we cooled off a little we walked to the beach.
It was about a 30 minute walk. The beach was very nice. My swimsuit was it the bag we lost so I couldn't really play in the water. But I took pictures with Robert's camera. My camera's batteries died yesterday and the batteries and charger are also in the bag we lost. This was the first time Robert has been to the beach!! He had to travel half was around the world just to see the beach. The power came back on at 6:30!! Everyone was amazed. We've been up at the lab since then working on the computers.
