Well, yesterday, thanks to 2 million dollars of our canadian tax money, our great governor general arrived in Accra, took a 'tour' , which seems to have consisted of a fast drive around in the dark, and then made her way to where we were, the embasadors house. The party was great, the band was good, the drinks were free, and just when we thoought they had no food, the food came out, thanks guys. The place was full of candians, I met a lot of millartary men and also some NGO workers and things like, Candians only, she wanted to tell us that we are making a difference, instead, oh, perhaps making a difference her self, or tlaking to the Ghananian population, or even better still, not wasting 2 million dollars to travel around africa and tell canadians that we are doing a good job. BUt the evening was a success and we finnaly made it home (only 10:30, still late here) and all had a nice debrief about what she was acctaully saying and what purpose that might serve.
THere were some millartary dudes who trying to convince my friends to join their little team but generally they were all nice people, some RCMP some poster children who dig boar holes (wells), the whole things seems a little fishy to me, if you can't tell by my tone, but i guess thats life, and besides, this governer general is a lot more pretty than the last one.
So I made it school today on my bike, which is now in shambles, the back wheel doesn't spin very well and the bolt conecting it to the bike is red hot after each ride, but soon I will ahve a new one.
PEACE
