Touching down in Ghana...

It's the afternoon on my second day in Ghana, and already the new experiences are piling up! I'm currently sitting in a little internet cafe off a dusty street on a hot, humid afternoon. From seeing Obama speak yesterday to climbing along a rickety rope bridge 100+ feet off the ground, there are many stories and pictures to post. 

For now, however, I simply wanted to let you know that I did leave for Ghana and I did land safely. An early flight out from Sea-Tac airport with a short layover in JFK, and I was landing in Accra, Ghana the next morning at 8:30AM. Within just a few minutes of landing, I learned that Accra is actually pronounced "uh-CRAW", with the emphasis on the second syllable.

And this trusty Compaq computer (which is probably older than one of my little sisters) is letting me know that my time is up...
