We've been pretty busy lately! We've gone to the Basic Services Primary school three times now, and everyone's pretty attached to the kids already. At the schools, each girl goes into a different class(except me and Taleen are in 1st grade together) and help out the teachers and get to know the kids. Then at break, we all go outside and play games with all the kids at the school. They have the coolest little games and all go crazy when we show up. Today we went early for their morning assembly, where they do singing and prayer. We all had to get up and dance, and the kids loved it, even though they were laughing at us the whole time. We also played a game against the girls team there, but the field was pretty bad and filled with potholes, and Jamie sprained her ankle so we stopped.
On Saturday we went to the Cape Coast Slave Castle. It was very moving, and gave us all a lot to think about. The next day we went to Busua Beach, which is about an hour away from Takoradi. It was so beautiful there! And it was one of the first sunny days of the trip, so we just jumped right in the water. It was a little cold at first, but it was really refreshing and we played sand soccer after. It got a little intense because Robert and Andy got competitive. But it was a lot of fun and we all want to go back again before we leave.
We went to the market again also, and it was a lot better because everyone was less intimidated. We actually went into the market today, and bought some beautiful fabric for our mothers and friends. Some of the girls are gonna make dresses, but I'm gonna try to make my own...we'll see how that goes.
We've also been practicing with the California Ladies. It's a lot of fun! They're so good and play the ball really quickly. We have our first game tomorrow, and we're all really excited, especially since we got new jerseys today!
