Site Description

Joe here: We found out where we will be staying for the majority of our time in Ghana. Part of my site description sheet reads as follows:

Name of School: Atakora D/A JHS
Postal Address: PO Box 42, Donkorkrom
Region: Eastern
District: Kwahu North
Major Language: Twi

The Peace Corps gossip is that we are replacing a couple in Donkorkrom, and that they have nice housing and amenities: tap water, electricity, private bath and kitchen, and spare bedroom. Hallie's school is about fifty meters away from our future home and mine's a bit further. Last, to get to Donkorkrom from points east, south (i.e. Accra), or west you must cross Lake Volta on a pontoon.

So, Ghana has advanced to the next round of the World Cup where they will face the US. Trash-talking has been pretty heavy from some Ghanaians namely my fellow teachers, of course all in good fun. The game begins tomorrow, Saturday, at 630 our time, so about 230 or 130 yours. Watch and keep us in mind.
