No marriage yet!!

Don't worry, that was just a little April fools stunt that Darl decided to pull on facebook...

So we finally left Busua, our little piece of paradise in South West Ghana in a small fishing village. It was amazing to have two weeks of relaxation time, it was very hard to leave.

So things that happened since our last blog... hmmm... well my bad luck continues. I got chafed soooo bad after a very humid long run. Then I was smart enough to jump in the salt water ocean! Oh the pain. Luckily, our friends recommended that we go buy Vaseline in town. That saved my life! We are so pampered at home with our fancy anti-chafing remedies we completely forgot about good old Vaseline! Also, to continue my bad luck, I found the one jelly fish on our beach and got a wicked sting on my tummy. good times!

Another interesting experience was going to a local church. It was called Assemblies of God and was very uncomfortable for me. Everyone was all dancing around in a trance like state saying hallelujas like crazy and lots of amens. We tried to act like we knew what we were doing and in the end we had a million new friends in Busua!

Next we attempted another long run and got ourselves good and lost trying to find this small village. Luckily, on our way back when we were extremely dehydrated, these nice men in the rainforest offered us fresh coconut milk and coconut! It was just what we needed to get through the end of the run.

Ooh! And the best thing to happen lately, I discovered soybean skewers!!! My first veggie meat in three months! It was truly heaven.

Ok, I am out of time but we will write more soon!

Love you all!!
