Day 10

This morning I woke up at 5:30 again. I think tomorrow I'm going to get up and go to the devo. After I got everything together I went to the guest house and did a puzzle till breakfast was ready. Everyone was getting their suitcases together because they were leaving this morning. After breakfast there was going to be a dedication of a house at 9. So everyone went over there. I sat down and daddy said that we might go to Cape Coast soon.

It was past 9 and we had no idea when the dedication was going to start or how long it would last so we decided to leave now instead of waiting till afterwards. We told all the Americans good bye, since we wouldn't get to "see them off."

It was a two hour drive to the University. We talked to lots of people. The guy that was most in charge that we talked to seems totally ready for daddy to come. He had already talked with other people in charge and gotten it approved that daddy could come. We were then shown around the University. It's so nice. Very open and shady and cool. We then went to lunch with a minister who was a "guide" for us through out this whole thing. After lunch we went to his house and met his wife and bought some honey. Then we went to the church , Chapel on the Hill, of which his is minister. It was so pretty.

And then we drove back to VOH. We bought subaru (a weird shaped potato) and pineapple on the way home. At a couple of spots there were speed traps. Cars that had passed the trap would blink their lights and we would slow down to pass the police and then speed up later. The driver signaled others of the trap too. This happened at just the time when I was wondering why there were speed limits. The speed limit would be 50 km/hr and we would be going 100 km/hr, then the limit would increase to 80 km/hr and we would go 120 km/hr. And it wasn't just us; everyone goes that fast or close to it. There were still the occasional car that we passed or that passed us.

When we got back daddy talked with his house parents and I watched two kids play football with a rock and Sequence tokens. It took me a while to figure out what they were playing because the rock was the same color as the floor. I watched a while and then they had to do chores. There were a couple of kids playing basketball so I changed into some shorts and played with them some. Daddy came out, but I played a little bit longer and then went and got my backpack and then up to the lab. Going to get my backpack my shoes came off and I slipped on a little wall and scraped my legs. It looks horrible, but that's just because they're bleeding a bunch. They're really only scrapes. On the way up to the lab, a guy had a snake on a stick. There's you snake Ray.

I've got lots of pictures to add but the camera batteries died. Check back later.
