arrival in ghana


I have arrived safely in Ghana. Our plane arrived at the Accra International Airport at approximately 8:30am local time.
The new volunteers and our more than 2 tons of luggage filled up the baggage terminal. It was a zoo making sure everybody was reunited with their luggage but in the end no bags were lost!






We were piled onto busses and brought to the Main Office.
Exhausted and overwhelmed from the flight, we were forced into a full day of work. We were given tours of the Peace Corps office, surrounding Accra area, given some vaccinations, and lastly language lessons and more than 8 hours later finally taken to a University about an hour outside of Accra, called Valley View to finally sleep. As you can imagine I was more than happy to see my bed that night where I would be staying for the next few days before the infamous “Vision Quest”.

Ari thank you so much for the update. I'm so glad that you made it safe and sound.
Peace Corps in the 21st century is going to be so much more fun than it was in the 1970's when it took 2 weeks to get a letter.
love ya
