First post

Hello, all! This is Rivky, writing our first post from Teaneck. We're leaving for Ghana on Sunday night, so I wanted to write an intro post before we leave. We are mostly packed, we finally got our visas after a little mishap this week which involved an emergency trip to Washington DC to visit the lovely people at the Ghanaian embassy.*

We'll try to post relatively often, but the truth is that it seems unlikely. Zev, a friend of mine currently in Ghana, said that electricity often cuts out, and that the internet is not easy to come by on our university campus. Zahava will write a little, and I'll write a little, and hopefully we can also get pictures going on.

Okay, that wraps up the intro post. Official countdown- 54 hours until we leave!

Oh, and a special thank you to Sarah Moses for coming up with the name. So clever, that girl.

*that was sarcasm. They were not lovely. They were mean. Luckily, Zahava dealt with them while I watch the Fresh Prince in the waiting room at the embassy.
