Ghana, Day 10 - Morning Jog

Hi Ruth! I'm still in Ghana, and counting down the days until I see you. 44 more seems like a whole lot.

Since I showed you my walk to work the other day, I thought today I'd show you my morning jog. I prefer doing my exercises with you, but I have to keep doing them alone so I'll be in shape to do them more when you get here and when I get home!

First, this is the tree that I do chin-ups on:

Then I head out along this road:

Every time I pass flowers, I think about how you'd want to pick them for Mommy.

Today, I headed up the hill, and I pass lots of big termite mounds. Remember the pretend ones they have at the zoo near the gazelles? These are real, and they're huge. It's amazing to think things as tiny as termites (which are about the size of ants) made these! This one must be very old, because it's all covered in vines and plants:

Whew! It's a tall hill!

I took a picture of these flowers because I know yellow is your favorite color.

When I get to the top of the hill, I can see Legon Hall through the trees - that's the biggest hall on campus, and one of the oldest.

And then I turned around to go back to my flat and eat a lonely breakfast without you. Coming back down the hill is much easier than going up!

I miss you and Mommy, but I'll see you soon(ish).
