last day!!

today is our last day in accra....until we come back in a month. last night i went to the beach with some friends and watched the sunset over the gulf, unfortunately our view was blocked by some clouds but i'm sure there will be more opportunities. yesterday afternoon we had a guest lecturer name john collins who is a professor of high life music. for class we had to read a book called 'all gods children wear travelling shoes' and john collins was mentioned in the book. high life is the traditional music of ghana and he told us how it came about. this morning we went to a dance studio in new town, accra. we watched a group dance, sing, and play drums. the owner of the studio invited us on stage afterward and taught us a few moves. tonight i will be having my last meal with mama vida for a while, i'm not sure what she's cooking though (or if we'll even eat together).

alright, sorry for the short post but i need to go get packed up and clean my room! i will post again as soon as i can from kumasi; it may be a few days till i can get my barrings down and locate an internet cafe. i hope everyone is doing well!

enjoy your life,
dane
