Akwaaba... aka, welcome to Accra!

Arrived, napped, fed. :) ...given remote control for air conditioner in the room, have better cell signal here than I did at home, and more reliable wireless internet (that is, when the power is on... ha). more later on my nearly missing the first flight out of Buffalo thanks to Barack Obama, some confusion once in the airport, and, ultimately, the 11hr flight which has landed me on the sun, complete with girls standing in the middle of the road balancing baskets of food for sale on their heads [quite impressive.].

Thus far, safe to say that Ghana is standing up to its reputation as a.an ideal introduction to Africa, and b.a wonderfully friendly place.
