In Ghana

SO this is going to be short since i dont have too much time. I am now at Techiman, Ghana. We are staying at a hotel for a few days and then moving in with our homestay families on Saturday. We were in the capital city, Accra for a few days of meetins and lots of shots, and them we were sent out ot visit current Peace Corps Voulunteers. I went to the upper volta region where I lived in a rural village for a few days. It took us two days to get there and two days to get back. one day we only travled 40 miles in 13 hours! not very many vehicles and very bad roads! So we are in training for the next 10 weeks, and then we will be sent out around the country. We find out next week were we will be going so we can start learning the language. Right now we are justlearning Twi, a common language spoken by most people. Im doing well, making new friends, adjusting to the heat. Please send me letters! Packages if you want, I would love granola bars and drink mixes like gatorade and crystal light too! Thanks everyone for your support... more later!
