Hello everyone! The temperature is a warm 92 degrees Fahrenheit, and Accra is indoors for the Sabbath day.
The flight to Accra was fairly smooth- I arrived in Washington DC to find my roommate Kelsey (we had planned to travel together), and several other NYU students. After ten hours, 2 movies, and several naps, we touched down. Seeing the city from above was completely surreal. We made it through customs with no luggage mishaps, and were met by our NYU Accra RA’s and a bus. Our accommodations are amazing- there are two NYU dorms here and both are enormous. We went to lunch as a group in Accra… where I found…
Ice cream! Mission accomplished.
In all seriousness, I am very excited to be here. Sleepy, but excited. It looks as though NYU is going to treat us well. The rest of the group will arrive later tonight, 43 students total. Everyone I’ve met so far has been great, I’m told that the Ghana students become like a family.
Time to get some sleep (it’s almost 6pm here, but I think it’s around 8am in Seattle…)
A warning: The internet is rather slow. It is going to take some getting used to.
Good luck this semester! I'm glad you have a blog so we can hear about it! It's a balmy 18° here.
