Please, call me Akua

Yes thats my Ghanaian name -Wednesday born!
To update you, i've been fairly sick this week, since Thursday. But i'm pulling it together today and going to work -even if i am skipping the Wednesday morning worship session to sit in an internet cafe! Five german girls have arrived at our house for a 2-week-special program. They seem very nice but they speak German most of the time so its hard to know!

Linda, Josephine, Matilda and I went to the Aburi gardens on Saturday (Aburi and Abiriw-where i live, are too different towns) Aburi is a good 20 minute tro ride away. To our dismay, or amusement perhaps it started rainng while we were on the tro (a tro on which i met the Prince of the region-he paid our fare! But i suppose thats what Princes do..).

We alighted (look it up) about a 10 minute walk from the gardens but it was pouring by this stage was we ran for cover under a small tools shops. There, we hailed a taxi to take us the rest of the way, still stumborn that we were going to the gardens and going to enjoy it. Worse, when we got to the gardens they was not cover! We had to shelter in the restaurant. There we had a soft drink each. Unfortunately, it didn't stop raining for 20 minutes, after which it was still raining, but less. So we gave in and made our way back home. An interesting day's activity. A tad pointless, but fun nonetheless!
