Celebrating in Ghana!

The Black Stars have qualified for the World Cup 2006 in Germany. What a game it was with a victory of 4 – NIL. An historical event for Ghana! The disappointing truth however is that not many people from Ghana will be able to attend the game in Germany but I am willing to wager their support will be there nonetheless.
Reverend of campus church came by this evening with my first gift: fresh eggs and a whole bunch of plantain. I mean the whole bunch you get straight from the tree!
Here is a funny story for you all: I missed 6 AM mass Wednesday morning this past week…..due to the fact I was locked in my bathroom. It seems the locking mechanism failed and fell inside the door. The student who has been assigned to clean for me discovered my mishap and went to find help. Thirty minutes later and a broken down door I was freed!
Ghana has an interesting phenomenon known as light off. Electricity goes off randomly and for an unpredictable period of time. I have experienced 3 so far. Saturday evening was the longest yet, 4 hours. We passed the times my listening to the radio and learning how to dance Ghanaian style. Good thing the lights were off!
I apologize for the lack of pictures. The internet server available just doesn’t have the ability to get the photos up on the sight. Next time I am in a city I will go picture crazy!
