Akwaba! (Greetings/Welcome!)

We have officially landed and been in Accra, Ghana for a few days now. The wi fi at the hotel and Aye Centre (where we have class) has not been very good. It has been really slow, we haven't had the plugs we need, and cannot access it from my roommates and my room. But, we have gotten everything we need and can now access the internet at the hotel! (At least a few more days.) Thus far, we have toured Accra via bus, toured a couple museums, and walked around town! We walk to school everyday which is about a 25- 30 minute walk. The afternoons have been free so far. Today we went to one of the bigger markets! It was definately agressive and stressful, but very fun! I bought a small drum and small xylophone! We plan to go back there very soon! We also are going to a cleaner beach this weekend.I found out my internship is not where I thought it was at. From my understanding (we haven't started them yet), I will be at a micro- finance business office, not the finance department of the newspaper.  We are pretty exhausted and wore out by the end of the days with walking a lot, the weather being hot, and the jet lag. We have been eating lots of rice, chicken, and plantains! I hope to write again soon while we are still at the hotel (until Sunday). We are not sure of the internet situation at our homestays.
