FREEDOM!!!!

Apologies for taking so long to update all of you eager followers of my adventure. It has been a long couple weeks but the time has flown by quite fast. The last two weekends were the performances of the play I was in. The first weekend went great and the audience really loved it. The second weekend started out really rough but it got much better by last night. On saturday there was a brownout all day which meant I had no fan to keep me from dripping sweat. That night however, it meant that there were no lights on campus which obviously meant it was very dark. Once a generator was procured, the show went on (40 min late) and ended up being a good show. It was quite interesting trying to get changed and find props in the pitch black. All of the Ghanaians thought it was hilarious that I couldn't find anything backstage. The study abroad crew went to Kumase this weekend so I was lonely without them but it sounds like they had a fantastic time. Can't wait till I get to go. The most exciting thing I get to look forward to is that with all my free time I can finally go out and play football everyday and be more active. On Saturday I went with my friend Bernard to a restaurant in the Airport Residential area where he grew up for what he claims is the best waakye in accra. It was a good relaxing day just walking around the city and the meal was quite good. I remembered yesterday that I am actually in school so I should study at some point soon. Crazy Idea I know!!! I'm excited for the Coe Luther soccer game in a few days because a friend here goes to Luther so we'll probably have a bet going on the game. (ssshhh don't tell NCAA it won't involve money or steroids)
I woke up today and realized that it was an extremely beautiful day and there are really no big cares in the world. And this thought just sparked a memory from the other day which is completely unrelated. On Saturday I was in a taxi going back to the hostel when I saw a really random super skinny horse in a field and there was a large white bird just sitting in it's back asleep. I really wish I had my camera because it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while. Hopefully after this weekend of climbing some mountains i will have more stories to tell. If anyone reading this has any information about the regulations of musical instruments as carryons for airplanes, they should let me know. Have a good day!
