I'm still in Ghana, but you know what today is?
September 1st!
Know why that's important?
Because it means I'm in the last month before I get to see you and Mommy!
Sorry there weren't posts for Days 18 and 19. On Tuesday I got to talk to you over Google+ and I was so excited that I didn't even think about the blog until I got home that night very late (and then I'd left my computer in my office, since it's not always safe to carry around expensive things like computers late at night). And then last night for some reason my internet wasn't working.
Last night, I met my new neighbors, Mr. Bill and Miss Theresa. Mr. Bill is the other person who's here on a Fulbright - he's here to work with journalists (people who write the news for newspapers, the radio, and TV) learn how to do their work better. Miss Theresa is going to be volunteering at the Osu Children's Library that I told you about before! So maybe I will go help her some days, and then you and I can go when you get here. We talked for a little while - I told them about some of the places to get things they needed on campus, and they told me that they were missing their grandchildren back home, and so I should take you by to meet them when you got here! That was very nice of them. And they lent me some matches, which was also nice.
This morning, I went to check out the pool. The pool here is actually pretty nice:

They don't have a pool for small and medium-sized people here at the university, unfortunately - though there's one at the Shangri-La Hotel which isn't too far. But it'll be a nice pool for Mommy to do laps - maybe she can go in the morning while you and I run around or read stories.
Then, I mostly worked (and sent some mail for you and a birthday card for Grammy that I hope gets there in time). One of the people I know put me in touch with a man who just retired from being a soldier here, and he is going to talk to me about what it was like to be a soldier in Ghana - soon, I hope! And I did some work to set up a Philosophy Club here, too - I hope people have fun with it.
But, more importantly: CHICKENS AT THE POOL!

So I see the high (higher, highest) diving boards. Is there a shallow(er) end at all? I could certainly hold her with me in the shallower end. But yes, laps very do-able in that.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there's not really a proper shallow end. The shallowest part comes up to my midsection.
ReplyDeleteR thought chickens at the pool were "silly." None found at the Y pool, though. She loves to practice her ballet in the pool (and on the living room stair landing. She's looking forward to riding on your back as Uncle David did. So,the depth of the Ghana pool will accommodate! (:+)
