So I got into Ghana last night.I'm in full panic mode because I am so scared of getting bit by mosquitos, you know malaria and all. I'm trying to relax and have a good time. Luckily for me I don't get jetlag so I'm not too tired. Today was really interesting, I had lunch with an American man who's staying at the same hotel. The cabana area was full and he was alone so he invited me to sit down with him. It's always funny to me that the first thing other Americans ask when they meet you is "are you an American?" Like if you are that means we have to be friends now, or that its some kind of unwritten rule of our citizenship lol. But he was really nice and later I found out from one of the hotel staff that the guy is a billionaire! That's cool how often do you get to have lunch with a billionaire! My bff was like "that's not a big deal, he's just a person." But I thought it was cool. Oh well! I'm starting to get sleepy its after 11pm here and I have to get up early tomorrow.I get to go to the palace to have breakfast with the President of the country. He's good friends with my father so I'm going to get a GREAT tour. I will post pictures soon. Its really amazing how some parts of the country are really beautiful and other parts are so ravished that it makes u want to cry!

Wow, well it sounds like things are at least going well so far Psych, I'm happy for you! I can understand how you'd think that's cool to have eaten with a billionaire, I would think it was cool too, because yeah he's just a person, but it's so neat to get to realize 'This guy who you might THINK is all uppity is just another regular human being moving from day to day like me.' I personally think it's really cool that you're going to get to have breakfast with the President and that your dad is good friends with him. That's exciting! -

Yes, those are the poorest regions of the world.... the cradle of our humanity....the wildest places of all......
How is your stomach is doing? Hope it has not bothered you while having lunch with with the brand new president Atta-Mills.
