day 1!

June 13 2009
So we finally arrived in Ghana! What a trip. We landed in Accra at 8:30 and then set out on our 5 hour drive to Kumasi. I've never seen so many children in my life. My favorite thing to see is the mothers carrying the babies on their backs. The babies look so content. We stopped at a rest stop after 2.5 hours of driving and of course see a giant lizard. Little was I aware, there are millions of them everywhere. Our next stop was at the first school the Kipharts built. It was great to meet their first friends. Also, I forgot to mention a Ghanaian clebrity was on our plane. When we landed, everyone clapped! he was wearing a leopard suit. It was so bizarre. Peter's daughter Naomi had no interest in the celebreity. It was such a difference between our cultures. Anyway, we just arriaved at 4 Villages Inn. It's beautiful!
