HEY!!!
ok so this community project (the library) started driving me absolutly insaine in terms of lack of organization and motivation and umm well effort.... lets just give an example- monday we had a meeting at 2 with teh chief and teh library committee who were interestedi n gettign this project finished. so julia and i show up and no one in sight....nmmm call the chief's son who says it might be at his dads house...so we end up there (where teh son just happens to be shirtless by chance and procedes to give lame excuses followed by strange looks at julia...we think it was his attempt to hit on her...) but anyway they had had the meeting earlier and forgot to call us....great. ok so then the chief got made at kids playing on my bike outside and tried to yell at them but they just laughed at him and kept on playing (this was hilarious, shows JUST HOW MUCh authority he has here...nada drop).
long story short here the chief fell asleep and we finally agreed on the best community involvement we could get- that was to get them to get their two local churches to pay for the labor for the plasterinwhile we paid for the supplies...
then it hit me why am i still here doing this?!! i came here to see the country not pull out all my hair!! (which has been put into long braids somehow that seem to weigh abillion pounds!)
so ive decided to go on adventures!! julia and i are hitting up cape coast this thursday for teh weekend then im goign to try and stop in a village where andy keith helped set up a little ground nut (like peanut butter) factory....then im also hoping to take a detour to this really renound bead making place and a really cool market just north east of accra.
then monday alex and his friend from montreal and i are giogn to take a boat up the volta river and then visit a national park in the north west and then down teh west coast through kumasi and back to abor.
