Akwaaba!!!!!

Welp! Lizzy and I made it to Ghana without any major hiccups. We did have to wait at the airport for about an hour for someone to pick us up, but thanks to the seemingly nice man who offered his phone (he then demanded a tip), we got in contact with our office manager Atobora and he arrived shortly thereafter. After a trip to the grocery store, we settled in, upacked, took some naps, and then went to the apartment above us where a missionary couple lives. Luckily he is the area doctor, so should we ever get sick, we know who to go to. They taught us how to bleach everything that has the remotest possibility of coming within a 10 foot radius of our mouths, including all fruits, vegetables, and eggs. I can honestly say I've never had to give my carrots a bleach bath. Have you? Our apartment is a lot nicer than expected. We have AC, so the mosquito nets will have to wait (darn) and a tap with filtered water (score!). We've also just arrived in time for the Harmattan-- a wind originating from the Sahara bringing dust and sand into the air. And here we thought we were leaving the inversion when we left Utah! It should only last about two out of the three months. I am NOT complaining about being in 85 degree weather AT ALL. It feels awesome! But anyway, we have orientation tomorrow so hopefully we'll get our schedule of when we're teaching. Glad to hear from you all! I think it's cute that Vaughn and Garrison will have to share a bed. Pictures please!
