Day 1 in Ghana

I arrived in Ghana on Thursday at 7:30 Ghana time. My friend Barbra was not at the airport as I expected, so I waited for a while and finally decided that I should book a guesthouse. I found one within my budget in Labadi, a part of Accra I am not familiar with. The woman who owns the guesthouse was named Gloria, she was very friendly and kind. She drove me to the bank so I could exchange my money.
By the time I came back from the bank, I called my friend barbra from a street phone (Children keep phones by the side of the road and you can use them to call Ghana numbers it is 20 Peswas a minute or about 13 cents. When I called Barbra, she told me that she was at my guesthouse, she had arrived at the airport after I left and asked everyone if they had seen a white woman with short hair named "Jessica" they gave her Gloria's guesthouse number and she found the guesthouse much easier than I did. I joked with her later that she is a good detective.
After giving Barbra some gifts for her family and smoothing over her anger that I didn't wait for her at the airport we went out to a chop stand ( Local eatery) and I got Two rice balls and some ground nut stew (peanutbutter soup) it was so good. I went to bed at 4pm the first day I was there a little Jet lagged.
