Monday Tuesday

It's Wednesday aft. I've had a really interesting morning and will write about it tomorrow. Canada vs. Russia tonight and it's being shown on satellite here so I'll be watching. Time to kill those dirty commies!!! It's going to be a tough one. Here's what I wrote last night:

The past two days have been same old, same old: work, reading, being stuck in traffic. Monday I went into town for lunch and had the tro-tro ride from hell. Painfully cramped, screaming baby behind me, terrible Jesus music blasting on the stereo. The speaker was mounted at the front, taunting me with “reliable, dependable God” repeated five million times with horrible background music. Then my phone didn’t seem to be working, so I wasn’t exactly in love with Ghana. But it turned out that it was working I got some good food and my frustrations went away like that.

Today I met a guy from Ottawa in town who is here on an internship with CIDA til the end of March. He’s the first Canadian I’ve met here who isn’t old, which is a bit weird to think about, although I haven’t really noticed until now to tell the truth. We’re going to meet up to watch the hockey semis.

I just got a call from Maxwell and tomorrow we have to go back to the village we went to on Sunday, so this will be posted when I’m back from that. And seeing as this will be posted on Wednesday which is quarter-final day: GO CANADA GO!!!
