Our plane was delayed four hours out of JFK, but from there on out an uneventful, if cramped, journey. Delta did a good job keeping their humor and being positive. Arrived at around 1115 in GHANA; it was like being hit with a brick it was SOOOooooo Hot. The ride to hotel was mercifully short, and we had a nice orientation meeting with Professor Michael Williams of Aya Center. Students introduced themselves and shared their first impressions. I am too tired to notice much beyond the very happy faces and beautiful cloth used in all the "SUNDAY BEST" clothing we saw today. A brief tour of Greater Accra was followed by a wonderful meal at Chez Afrique and a nice walk back to the hotel. Most students are doing well, but it's early in the trip and we're all running on fumes...we'll see how everyone bounces back tomorrow. The photo is of a group of girls we met on our way home from dinner at Chez Afrique! They were so friendly and full of smiles for us.
