in the car all day



Today was so weird and frustrating and exhilirating all at the same time. We chilled in the morning and decompressed the whole Kete Krachi experience, and then walked to Pastor Markwei's home to meet Andy and the plan was to go into town to purchase some computer hardware for Pacodep. Well, our ride didn't show til after lunch (no big deal), and then we went into town....sheesh! Traffic was unbelievable!! We literally sat in a car and travelled about 4-6 miles, and it took us 4 hours total travel time! I'm not kidding. And cars do whatever they want...we were on a 3 lane arterial, with four lanes of cars, driving on the dashed lines, even on the other side of the road. But here's the difference between American drivers and Ghanian: Ghanaian drivers are still nice. Even their horns are nice, no one hits each other, people let others merge....you have to see it to believe it.
