footy


We finally played a real game on Thursday! We drove to Cape Coast and had lunch with the California ladies, then played in a beautiful stadium in front of a pretty good sized crowd. I got tired pretty quickly, but it was a lot of fun playing real soccer. We won 5-2. Today we went to go watch the U17 National team(who we're playing tomorrow!). They were sooo good and that wasn't even their first string team! We're all excited to play though, and we're hoping the rain will let up soon. Later today we're going to go to the orphanage later today, and hopefully the roads will permit us to go...
It's getting pretty close to the day we leave! We're all a little sad that we're leaving so soon though, it feels like home already, although there's a lot of talk about Gordos...Tomorrow we have the game against the national team, and then on Monday we're going to Calcun, where we get to cross that really high bridge and pet crocodiles. Yesterday we went to Africa beach and the little craftshop next to it and bought some really cool masks and other african things.
