We are ready to start our second day of teaching in Tamale. Yesterday we had our first opening ceremony and met our "students" for the first time. Everyone is very welcoming and enthusiastic about being here.

The journey here on Sunday took about 11 hours. Most of the road was paved, or "tarred" as they say here, but the parts that were not were quite the experience. Stan had read about giant forest snails that are a delicacy here. We were told that we might be able to get some on the way to Tamale. Our driver, Francis, kept his eyes open and found some on the way to buy. They cooked them for us yesterday for lunch. I hope I can get some pictures on later today showing this experience, but the slow internet here is a challenge for uploading pictures.

So far we are all healthy, content and having a good time.
