Art Worlds in Ghana

Thursday, June 3

I’m in Ghana, and safe and sound. My flight was smooth, and only a little late. Kelvin (the man I’m working with at the Junior Art Club, who’s friends with Haverford anthro prof Jesse Shipley) picked me up at the airport, then showed me around the city.

Accra is different from any place I’ve ever been to before. But it’s cool. Or, I should say, hot.

Weell I had a bit of a rough start. Delta didn’t let me on my flight because I didn’t bring the credit card I bought my ticket with. But they are letting me take a flight tomorrow. So I guess I’ll see you Wednesday, Accra. Thanks Mom and Dad for not freaking out.
