first post in ghana

So I'm in an internet cafe in Accra. We're taking a city tour thing. It's pretty cool. The trip was EXHAUSTING. Our flight didn't leave until like 11:30 friday night. It was a seven hour plane ride. Then we had like two hours off the plane and then ANOTHER seven hour plane ride. I am not looking forward to the ride back! Last night was the first night I actually got a decent night sleep. It is soooo humid. Our beds felt wet because of the humidity. It has rained nonstop since we got here because it's the rainy season. There are 21 people on the trip. Like half of them are from the San Francisco area. Every one is really nice and fun. We're having a lot of fun so far, considering we have to sit through a super boring orientation. Our host families don't pick us up until tomorrow. We're staying at a hostel now. Some people have had a lot of contact with their host families. One girl even had a phone waiting for her at the hostel sent from her host mom as a gift! I'm so nervous about meeting my host family! I reallly hope they like me. And guess what!? There's a movie theatre here, which means I can still see Harry Potter! :] Well, depending on what my host family lets me do. I have to go now, but I'll post another blog soon hopefully!
