It has been brough to my attention that i cannot spell... deal with it please... sorry..
I moved in with my new family, Boitine my father is a great man, has already delcalired that i am his son and given me his name as my ghanaian name, and also ofered to find me a bride, as is coustomary for a 21 year old's fahter to do. I told him i was married but htat was soon worked out and the joke did go over well.
I live in a 2 story house and have quite a big room to my self, it is sometimes awkward with a cook but the family and extended family who is around are very nice.
I went to bed last night overwhelmed at 8 oclock, but with meeting my class mates again i felt good.
Well, today i started twi classes at the university, that is one of the many local languages, the teachers is very funny, and te whole class is involved. We had to buy these little exersize books to do homework in, it feels a little like greade 1 in that respect, but that is fine, i hear the schools are a little more regemented here.
After that we went in a tro tro (or mini bus) ride into Accra, it was busy as ever and so much going on, acctually a little over whelming, but very fun some of the group stayed on but i felt it nessasary to make my way home and write you all on this blog. and to take it easy as \I was feeling a little flustered, but i met a nice drumming instructor on the way home and talked to him and now, after a 40 minute walk on the side of the road home from school i feel great.
I am trying to write a lot here now, but it might slowly teater out, I find comfort here, something that i though I would never find from a blog, becuase i feel connected to all of you whom have made my life what it is.
PEACE And LOVE
ALEX

hey alex!! My mom sent me the link to your blog. (I have one to, that i dont really use, but might start when we leave for venice)
That is so great that you have one up and running and have access to the internet! Do you have to go to an internet point to get it? or does the family have it?
I have no concept of what your city is like. How big is it? Does it feel urban in the same way new york and toronto do?
much love!
