I just went down to breakfast. No sign of Chuks, Jeff or Sue. The standard breakfast here is an omelet, toast with jam and butter and coffee. Most places also have some type of sausage and beans. The sausage in some places was a hot dog. The beans are typically served at room temperature. This place actually had a breakfast menu so I a fried egg for variation. I have eaten more eggs in the past week than in the past year. We are supposed to meet up at 10:30 this morning. Chuks is taking us to tour somewhere. He has had a hard time making contact with any faculty at this university to work with. Since this is Sunday and we are leaving tomorrow morning, I doubt that we see anyone from the university.
Chuks is not traveling back with us, he is staying here and then to Nigeria. I don't know if I mentioned but he is actually Nigerian, not Ghanian. He has led several short term study abroad programs here to Ghana. He typically comes in May right after the semester is out and stays for 3 weeks. He follows the same basic path that we have taken, but he told us he does not take the students from Cape Coast to Mole in one day. He stops in Kumasi at least overnight. So the students do not get the 13 1/2 one day journey. He will spend some time in Nigeria and return to Ghana. He plans to come back to the university in Komasi to see if he can make contact with any faculty about the project.
