Internet here...

Hi everyone. The internet in Ghana is not tres bon. I've got three very detailed posts saved on disk but the first internet place I went to today didn't have internet and the second one (where I am now) doesn't have working disk drives, so it's been an adventure. I will get the posts up when I can. There is lots in them about what it's like here and what kind of work I'll be doing, which I'm really excited about. I'm having a great time so far, although I haven't really met anyone I have anything in common with. Despite the loneliness of that, I feel surprisingly good. Partly it's because I have a great opportunity here (which you'll hear about), and also, I think it's the friendliness of the people here.

I start work on Monday, but will be traveling to Cape Coast this weekend. Lots of people have asked about work and I've written about it extensively (on disk) and will post it as soon as it's possible. One request. Because internet here is limited, I'd appreciate updates on news in Canada, particularly sports. Especially the Habs. I saw they won their first two preseason games. Time to start planning the parade... Take care, keep the emails coming.
