Home for now... The first night in Ghana

The hostel that we are living in is very different than I expected. There is a huge porch out in the front and there are lizards and gheckos that love to climb all over the walls. They even come visit us inside sometimes and I try to ignore them because they eat all the bugs lol. I havent been bitten or even seen any mosquitos yet but here there are very tiny... but I have been taking my malaria mediucation so I'll be fine. When you walk into the hostel there is a large living room with big wicker furniture and an old TV that gets a few channels. The walls kind of look like stucko and the floors are tile. There are a ton of doors that lead into rooms and multiple entrances and exits to every room its so confusing! I get lost still every time I try to find my room. There are three boys and 6 girls so the 3 boys share a room and then there are 2 girls in each of the other three bedrooms. The rooms are pretty nice... they have bunkbeds and a closet and a bathroom each. The showers dont have very much water pressure and its freezing cold but I cant imagine taking a warm shower in this heat anyway. The weather has been pretty nice so far. August is Ghanas coldest month so I guess I will probably be complaining about the heat in future blogs! After all of that travel... I have to be up at 6 to get ready for breakfast and our orientation so I'll update later. P.S. Gess hwo mi roomeight is... lol :) and btw shes 52 years old
