Arriving in Africa

I arrived in Accra, Ghana on January 4th. David Reeves picked me up at the airport and my mom surprised me by meeting me there as well. Gary Cage had to come back and get some bags that he wasn't able to pick up the day before and my mom came with him. It was great to see her standing there waiting for me to come out of the airport. It took about 45 minutes to get out of immigration. We stood in a line for what seemed like forever in a hot room with A LOT of people. My mom picked up my luggage, which was amazing, and then we went out and met up with David. I was so exhusted!!! The whole trip took more than 20 hours when you combine all the flights and the very small delay time between the flights. Things are going well. We are still in Accra at the guesthouse. Brett and April Emerson came in 2 days after me. The two of them and their baby have a little bit of the flu. They are doing better now. We leave in the morning from Togo and then Tuesday morning for Kara. I am excited about getting up to the schoolhouse and my apartment! I am putting a few pictures of the city of Accra. The dust is everywhere...just sitting in the air which you will see in the pictures.
