Well I've heard that there's snow on the ground in Jersey and more to come. All I can say is, at least it's always beach season here! Ahh, but I do like the thought of snow, the serenity in waking up and seeing everything covered in white and the sky that beautiful pink. The smell of wood burning and cookies baking, Christmas carols on the radio. Makes me smile. Currently I'm sleeping with blankets in an air conditioned room, so I can almost imagine feeling cold. I'm in Accra on medical leave for at least a week. I had a bug bite on my leg that went wild, and got a staph infection within 2 days, to the point that I could barely walk. So I called the Doctor and they rushed me in and sent me to a specialist. I went to bed after a dose of some VERY strong antibiotics and woke up feeling almost as good as new! They just want to keep me here to see if I'll be able to keep my leg. Hahahaha, just Kidding! It's healing nicely and I'm feeling better. PC takes GREAT care of us. So, no need to worry. I just have stupid skin. Always something goin wrong with it.
Last weekend I was able to go to a concert! It was real cheap, only like $2, and there were 6 performers. The headliner was Samini- he's currently the most popular African artist, and a winner of all kinds of awards. So for $2, I got to spend the night dancing to reggae and hip-life. Can't beat that!
I was planning on sending Christmas gifts or at least cards home, but it seems it's not gonna happen til next year. So sorry, I am still tryin to figure out how things work here.
I saw pictures from Nathan's birthday party, looked like a lot of fun. I can't believe he's 3!!! Wish I could've been there for him.
Thanks for the birthday packages! Ash I got yours, and I love you it was amazing. And Mom and Dad I got yours, also amazing! If you sent something to the address for Takoradi, it will probably be awhile before I get it, so I suggest just sending all mails to the Accra address.
That's it for now. I'm planning to go to Nkwanta for Christmas to hang out with some people up there. Should be a good one. Ok, love you.
