Rainforests, Crocodiles and Potholes, oh my!

You're all getting like 3 posts for one day! Don't you feel well informed?

Today was amazing, as I'm sure you've already heard (or read). From the historical aspect of the slave castle, to the feelings of accomplishment crossing the suspension bridge, to the bravery of petting a crocodile, it's definetely been a full day of adventure and excitement. It's incredible how much you can cram into a few hours with a great deal of determination and an agressive driver. :)

But really, the most amazing aspect of this trip has been the people we've had the pleasure of getting to know. From Michael, a neighborhood boy who helped lead team USA to victory over Ghana 5-2 (we won't discuss the 2 games we lost before that), to Loretta, the most amazing cook ever (seriously, her french toast is still making my mouth water 2 days later), to Moses, our van driver extrodinare, to all our (I know it should be "the" but I feel ownership already) kiddos over at the school... in so many ways they've blessed me and made me feel so lucky to have the opportunity to come to Ghana... I love 'em all!!!

I just wanted to stop by and say "hi!" and "thanks for all your prayers!" Hope you're all feeling as blessed to be alive today as I am!
