GHANA!!!

Am I excited? You bet! This morning I tackled each and every one of my friends with a running, jumping "GHANA!!!!" I scolded people for not wearing sunscreen and got in line to get off the ship 20 minutes before it even cleared customs.

Unfortunately by first steps on African soil were not as epic as I had hoped. Immediately upon stepping onto the pier I was ushered onto the bus that will take us to the drum&dance workshop location and now I'm sitting on a big air conditioned bus alone because everyone else is probably still waking up. We're set to leave here in 15 minutes so hopefully Mia (and the other 50 students coming) will show up by then.

For the next 15 minutes ill just sit here, tapping my foot getting ready for culture shock #3. OH! MIA IS HERE! WE'RE GOING TO DANCE!!!

Oh, but one piece of bad news. New boat rule: no drums. Yeah, I'm devastated. Sorry Matthew, I was going to bring you a real African drum but not anymore. Ill just play my heart out in your honor while I'm here.
