you can send packages to the address listed. when i move to kwesimintin i'll give you that address but that won't be until august 13th. i am right on the beach, in the western region, so yea, it's gonna be awesome. you should definitely come visit. tonight is the first night of Ohum festival and ends the ban on music and general rambunctiousness so we are all going to gather in the middle of maase and shout. it should be fun. the chief is back from accra for the celebration and i got to meet him today. very cool.

o yea, internet cafes suck.

today is really hotttttt, and i cant wait because im going to koforidua tomorrow to buy a fan. YAY!!! and yay for electricity. i am lucky with my homestay. last night i was hangin out with the family outside. although i couldn't understand much of what was being said, it was fun.

my fante learning is going well, we had four hours of language class today. since it's similar to twi, i am getting well known in maase for being able to understand the first 45 seconds of a conversation by myself.

o yea, i will have a phone either by tomorrow or thursday, so this is how it will work. if i can figure it out. ill either text you or call you and ask you to call me back so youll have my number. its much cheaper to call ghana from the us than it is to call the us from ghana. it is free for me to receive texts and calls. i probably wont have very good service though so it might be easier to text.

ps- the bananas are wayyyy better here. :)
