Answers to Some questions and other such things...

Thanks for the questions friends. I think I will address the pretty girls questions first. In all seriousness it's not unlike anywhere else in the world, there are pretty girls and there are ordinary and there are somewhat unfortunate, just seems to be the way the world works.
My absolute most favorite experiences so far have actually been just sitting someplace that is high up and being able to look over the city and just see the variety of life. It makes me never want to live in a development where all of the houses are pre-designed. Every house here is custom with a variety of colors. Some things that I am looking forward to the most involve traveling. This weekend I am going to Cape Coast, but excited for going to Kakum national park. There is a rope skywaylk over the forest that is supposed to be incredible and monkeys everywhere that play with you and steal your bananas. I am also looking forward to going to Ho, Mole National Park, and to a place called Adafoe?? Nobody we can find has a similar pronunciation for it. It is the closest place on land to the center of the world. (where the equator and prime meridian meet) It is also supposed to be ridiculously beautiful with a skinny peninsula sticking out towards the center.
Regarding Obama and the reaction here if he does not win. The attitude here is mostly that they cannot view any other result than Obama winning. When myself or others mention that it will be very close people either don't believe us or still have incredible faith. One girl I was talking with told me that she doesn't even know what McCain looks like and that his speeches are never televised here. All of Obama's speeches are televised live and then again during prime time. IF Obama loses, I really have no idea how people will react, I'm not sure if people will then dislike Americans or just think we are ridiculously dumb or what.
I have been really excited for Coe's team and how well they are doing. It really makes me miss being there for it. But I have gotten the chance to play quite a bit. Once the play rehearsals are over in mid Oct. I will probably play every day, but for now I usually play once or twice a week. My Twi class is scheduled for 4-6 mon-thur so that also kills a lot of chances. But that will be finished in a week and a half. I have to head off to drumming class now, so everyone have another great day of fall. That's actually one of the things I miss the most. actually skipping Fall will be very weird and makes me a little sad.

Haha! I like how you answered the only question I was joking about :p But I wouldn't have it any other way. It's awesome that you get to go on those trips--I would LOVE to be there with you to go see the same places... Basically I'm pretty jealous. Hope you're having fun and have some amazing football/soccer skills when you return :)

<3 Chelsea
