Saturday Afternoon and Sunday

Saturday afternoon and Sunday where spent trying to relax and have fun.  Saturday afternoon we returned to the school and played soccer with some of the local Ghanans, this was a blast and we didn't completely embarrass ourselves (granted we mixed up the teams to save face a bit).  Saturday night we went and ate at Mamma Mia's restaurant, with most people ordering something with a taste from home (i.e. something with cheese, as the Ghanans rarely use cheese in their dishes.)

Sunday morning we went to church at the school where we were generously thanked for our service thus far in the community and also celebrated the students that had graduated the day before.


After a brief (2-3 hour) heavy rain storm we made it back to our hotel room where we made an impromptu feast for lunch with food from the local convenience stands, including a mango, pineapple, avacado, pepper salsa (I am sure that there was more but while they prepared this dish I was busy going to the store to get more food).

We then piled 19 people into a bus made for a maximum of probably 15 (and 15 Ghanans not 15 of us) and drove to a local beach resort where we got to go swim in the other side of the Atlantic Ocean (some people in our group it was the first time they had been to the Atlantic).

We returned to our hotel a bit tired, very sandy, and happy about how great our day was, with some of us passing out early (8:30 for me).
