Finally made it back to the internet cafe! And this time I found it all by myself! I feel like such a pro now :) I navigated myself and some other new volunteers all around downtown Kumasi, and I did not get us loss. I feel so proud of myself right now! By the end of my two months here, I am totally going to be like a native Ghanian.

This past weekend as been pretty eventful. I went to the Monkey sanctuary on Saturday, and it was well worth 4 hour trotro drive there and back. I got to feed wild monkeys right out of my hand! It was the neatest thing. I really badly just wanted to grab one and cuddle it, but the guide said that if I did they would attack... so I decided to scratch that idea. The story behind why these monkeys are so tame and friendly is that a long time a go when the African village that is now inside the sanctuary was built made some sort of pack with them that as long as they treated the monkeys has human beings, the monkeys in return would treat with respect. Or at least it was something a long those lines. So the village within the sanctuary will feed the monkeys breakfast and dinner, and also when ever one of the monkeys dies, they will give it a proper burial. I took tons of pictures, which I will post real soon.

Also this weekend I finally got a roommate. Her name is Charlie, and she is from London. She recently just got back from India and Thailand with Projects Abroad, so she has been all over the place. I am really happy I finally have a roommate, so now I don't have to go everywhere all by myself anymore! 

Also I now have a new favorite at the orphanage. I really ate saying that, but I can't help it. Her name is Milli, and she is about 2 years old (I think). Today, immediately when I arrived, she ran on over to me with this huge grin, wanting me to just hold here all day. In addition, during break, she will always beg me to just pick her, and then literally in about a minute she will fall asleep in my arms. She is the cutest thing ever. 

I have totally given up trying to look decent here. I have just accepted the fact that I will always be covered in a layer of dirt until a get home. Also I forget to mention in my last post that there are no mirrors at my host families house, so every morning when I live, I have no idea what I look like. I think I am going to try and get my hair braided at some point too just because I think it would be a lot easier to deal with and I wouldn't have to wash it must. The problem is bargaining the price for it... I just feel so bad haggling because I know I'm so well off compared to some of these people and I can totally afford it, but I can't let that allow people to take advantage of me I guess.

Well here are a few pictures!
