Ghana, Day 36 - Blackout

Hi Ruth!

I'm still in Ghana.  Today, I mostly worked.  I read a lot of one of my books about soldiers, and I worked on my paper about Liberia.  I know - not very exciting!

I hear that you're a little bit sick.  I'm sorry to hear it, but I'm glad you have Mommy and Grammy to take such good care of you.  I miss you a lot.  But another thing I did today was get travel medical insurance for you, so if you get sick while you're here, we're all set.  But I hope you won't get sick!

Oh, and we also had another blackout today. This one was a little more annoying than the last one, because it happened right as it was getting dark.  But I borrowed a flashlight from Dr. Bill and Ms. Theresa (I thought I brought one with me, but I guess I forgot) and read for a while.  And once I went and stood outside for a little bit and looked at the sky. There was a little light from the city of Accra down the hill, and I could see the clouds in it, and it reminded me of being outside where I grew up, in the country, not in the city like you're growing up.

And now it's late here, and I'm just missing you.  I'm saving up most of the interesting things to do and see for when you're here!

I know Mommy is very tired from working hard to keep everything OK at home, and I know Grammy is, too. Please be a good listener for them, and give them big hugs from me.
