The school computer has not been accessible to me for the last few days.  Rebecca brought her computer but the modem doesn't work in it.  Really?  Can one person have so many technology issues?

This whole week has been spent in the classroom.  Everything seems to be coming together.  On Tuesday night Jared and I made another trip to the Accra Mall.  This time he wanted to go to the movies to see "Brave". It was  nice to just sit back and relax.  We bought more groceries and headed back to the school.  Jared started to feel sick on the ride home and within a couple of hours he had a 102 fever and had some pretty serious stomach issues.  He spent Wednesday and Thursday taking it easy.  I am forcing him to drink Gatorade and water but he puts up a fight every time.  Last night, he asked for chili.  I bought everything I needed to make him chili when we were at the grocery store.  So late last night I was cooking for him...a good sign.  I hope he does better today.

Rebecca arrived on Wednesday!  Her plane left JFK about 1 hour 45 minutes late but she arrived only 45 minutes late. Her luggage made it without incident.  She was very tired when she got to the school around 2:00 pm but she met all of the students and hung out for awhile.  The next day we put her to work!  She was so tired at the end of the day.  She said, "I have a new appreciation for teachers."  She worked with 2 children who don't sit for very long.  At one point, she was chasing them around.  I have to admit it was pretty funny.  She wasn't discouraged though.  She loved working with the students.

After school, I took Rebecca to the Medina Market.  She loved it.  We walked into a section where music was blasting and people were dancing.  They grabbed our hands and we danced.  It was fun at first but became overwhelming when tons of people surrounded us. It was a good experience though!. Our mission was to find a stationary store.  We went up and down the aisles and finally made it to a main street.  Right on the main street was a very big stationary store!  We bought quite a bit at the market. 

Tomorrow, if everybody Jared is feeling better, we are going to get up early and go to a bead market.  We will have to take a public transport but I think it is only about an hours drive (depending on traffic).  Sunday we are supposed to go to Cape Coast. We will leave around 5 a.m. for this trip.  It is an all day adventure.
