Ghana, Day 13 - Meetings!

Hi Ruth!

::Sigh:: I'm still in Ghana. I really miss you. I'm glad you had a fun day with Grammy at story time today.

Today I was working, so there's not as much fun stuff to tell you about.

But, about my day!

This morning, Mr. Nkrumah was supposed to come to look at something in the flat, but he never showed up. But my water is still running, so I can't complain. So I just stayed here and worked until it was time to go to class.

Then, I taught my class. This class is for graduate students (people who have already been to college, but want to learn even more - like I did, and like Mommy will when I get back). So I only have two students. Which is nice, because it means that we can talk about whatever we're interested in, and I don't have to plan a whole big class in advance.

Today, we talked about a dialogue called The Euthyphro. A dialogue is like a little play that you read, and that teaches you something about Philosophy. This one is about a man who is trying to figure out what it is for something to be good. We had a good conversation about it! I can read you dialogues if you like when you get a little bit bigger - I think it'd be a bit complicated for you now (but you are pretty smart!).

Then, I had a meeting. I went to meet a man named Kojo, at a place called the Center for Democratic Development (I know, big name). They're a group that pays attention to what the government of Ghana does, and tries to make sure that they do good things. I talked to Kojo about how things have been with the army here in Ghana (what I'm here to learn about), and I got some of the books they've written about it.

Then I came back to the flat, and met with Mr. Lartey, to plan our trip to see monkeys and stuff! I'm looking forward to it. I miss you.
