So today I am going through email withdraw. I never thought about how much I use it and how challenging it would be to get access to here. There are a few things I want to clear up.- First, I am in Mampong, and there are several cities named Mampong in Ghana. I am in the Eastern side Asanti Region near Accur. I am about one hour from Accur. When you look on a map you will see a Mampong city north of Kumasi...that is the wrong place. I am a little north east of Accur.
Today, I am not doing anything.. yes.. I have no plans. Sunday is truly a day of rest for people here, so most stores are not open. I woke up and did a run with Maren (my friend from California..I'm not sure I have introduced her before now). I then came back and took a shower and had lunch on the veranda. Our hotel, the Courtyard, it is in Tutu and not Mampong (it is only a short walking distance from me). Courtyard sits on a hill and has great views. It is a 3 story building and each room varies. Maren and I are grateful to have a real nice room. It is spacious, we have our own bathroom and ref. The cement building is full of character with bright colored walls (pink, blue, green,etc) and various family and friend pictures put up by the owner. There is a lot of African artwork- masks, painting, standing pieces and plants. It is a fairly big place- 2 kitchens, formal dining room, and large living room. Not a bad place to spend 2 months!
