I heart Tuesdays

So I have rearranged my schedule so that I can have Mondays and Tuesdays free of classes to enable me to travel about on long weekends if I decide to. So yesterday I sat around for a good while before deciding to hit the beach and go to dinner. Today, I was ready early with a plan. Since I am one of few people with such a sweet schedule, I woke up before 7 to run (yes 6 AM is the only time that it is both cool and safe enough to run around) and then did another bucket shower (I am becoming a pro) before going to a nearby pool. Stayed there pretty much from 10AM until 5 PM. I think in those hours I managed to change ethnicities. Just kidding but I did get a little burnt. It would be a good thing to wear sunblock when living on the equator huh? I went back home before going to dinner at Redd Lobster ( yes, with two D's) in Madina with a friend. And that ladies and gentlemen was my day. Not so shabby. I do plan to do more traveling in Accra and Legon and exploring the tro-tro system ( they are like conversion vans but carry like 22 adults crammed together for cheap fares) but today I just needed a pool and a book. Tomorrow involves class and dropping classes and then it is off to Kumasi and Mole Nature Preserve. I promise pictures of this and Cape Coast. Good times in Ghana.

Aren't you supposed to be studying and teach poor african farmers better farming ways? Rednecks don't to the pool!... jk
