THe classes are moving on in Ada, times are good. I am getting used to life on the sea and the poeple I keep meeting are very freindly, making my life very nice. THat is just how it seems to work, esspeciall in Ada-FOah. or the name of my village ada-otlokpe - pronouced in english as Otro(K)be. I have been swimming still everyday and the other day I met a boy who went swimming with me and taught me some things. They are all surprised that I know how to swim.
Well, as time progresses, life contiunes and changes. I make new friends, I lose ytouch with old, The pipe starts running ( ihave water now) but the electiricty still cuts out often. I am learning as well to speak a bit of dangme (dangbe in english). A tse me wa ka bEfono, a tse me ka ALEX (a che me way kay befono, a che me kay Alex). And I will contiune to learn more.

Hi Alex,
I keep checking on your blog but often forget to leave a note for you. Not fair, given what a treat I get from reading your postings. (I agree with Eliz 1 - you definitely have a book in you! One of these days when you are ready this will probably all weave together in a new way.)
That midnight bus adventure had me gasping - you need to sell the film rights to that one!
I'm singing in a community choir out of St.Christopher House, and on Sunday night we sang in a great fundraiser concert 'The Evolution of Jazz' -- no banjoes, but some spectacular African drumming to start off the story. I"m glad you are having this opportunity to live and work in Africa. It's where we all come from, ultimately. I look forward to learning more about it from you when you're back. For now, savour it all, take good care of yourself...and say hi to that warm ocean for me!
Cheers,
Janet
ALEX PLEASE WRITE MORE!
