Week One

So I have been in Ghana for a week and I have begun to appreciate the pace of life here. It is slower. At home I am constantly orientating myself by the time of the day it is; here I hardly ever know what time is. I don't wear a watch, rarely go on the computer, don't carry a phone, and there are no clocks anywhere. The only way for me to find out the time is to ask. But I have found that I hardly ever really care about the time of day. In Ho it isn't about getting where I need to be at a certain time, wondering how long I will be there for, wondering the exact time of dinner, or meeting up with someone at an exact time. The days  here are more fluid than that, time goes by as smoothly as our thoughts that decide what we want to do with that time. It's kinda wonderful.
