Saturday February 5th 2011. What??? Ghana be in Ghana in the morning?!?!


So tomorrow morning in Ghana eh?  Pretty much the entire shipboard community is shitting their pants they are so excited.  Never thought I would look forward so much to Ghana but we just need to get off of this ship.  Tonight some friends and I are planning on sleeping on deck to see our first African sunrise. Holler.  In the morning we will get off of the ship and explore the city of Takoradi for a few hours….Side note, my friend Ricki just asked me to “pound it,” when I thrusted my first forward towards hers she threw her fingers apart and yelled “turkey” right as her fingers created a feather effect around my still closed fist.  It was funny… made me laugh.  Once in a while 2 people will both throw up turkeys therefore resulting in a standard high five…it gets awkward.   Anyway, so after we explore the city for a few hours we have to be back on the ship by 1230 for our Welcome to Ghana: Overnight in Winneba.  70 kids from SAS are going on that trip so it should be a good time.  We get to visit a local university in that town and have the opportunity to meet students from there and compare differences between university in the United States and schools in Ghana.  I’m so excited for the morning I don’t even know what to do.  Super bowl is on tomorrow night at 2330…in Ghana… pretty worried about finding somewhere that is playing it.  But we are staying in a hotel at Winneba so I’m thinking that we will find a place to be the most obnoxious American SASholes (funny) we can possibly be and demand to watch the Super Bowl. 
I also love this play on words with Ghana sounding like Gonna... so if i overuse it in the next few posts don't be hattin'.  It reminds me of when we were in Belize and everything Amanda saw was unBelizeable.
