More about Ghana

Yesterday was court day. Matt has to go back Monday, so pray that she gives a full adoption decree. She only wanted the men to come back, so I do not have to go nor the kids. That is good, since it was a small hot space and a 2 1/2 hour wait. The bathrooms by the court were an adventure. You have to pay to use them-more if you need newspaper to wipe. I brought TP, but still had to pay the 20 peswas(20 cents) per person. It was a long walk, too. After court we went back to Beacon House. The driving is interesting- only street signs and lights in the main city, so everywhere else you honk to let cars know you are there. It can be one crazy traffic jam. People sell stuff on the street while you are in your car. They run up between lanes of traffic selling fruit, DVDs, cell phones and minute cards, whatever! We needed an adapter plug and actually got one from a guy selling them running between car lanes! It is very hot and humid, we are close to the equator. Our hotel room has air, but not the hotel or Beacon House. We visited with the kids at Beacon House in the afternoon, they love people. All of the kids will just hop in your lap, hug you or hold your hand. Their are about 35 kids between 2 months and 14 years. Lamisi and Linda are coming to swim at the hotel today. It is nice to be able to walk to BH from our hotel. More to come, we have to type on Matt's phone and we are having trouble with pictures, but will keep trying to send. Love to you all.
