Today was much the same as yesterday. We picked our daughter up and she came to the hotel with us. We played in our room for awhile, ate at the hotel restaurant, swam and then had to take her back home. Today we saw a little bit of the drama queen ... pretending to be hurt when she wasn't, etc. We catered to it the first time, but the second we didn't give it any attention and she stopped right away. Good to know! She again loved her lunch - the way to this girl's heart is through her stomach! :) We didn't try the banku yet, she wanted jillaf rice and chicken instead. It was a huge portion so she shared some chicken with Greg. (he said it was good) I had ordered a burger and it wasn't very good (just different than I'm used to) - she was very concerned that I didn't finish it. She is always concerned about us eating and drinking, we guess that probably comes from needed to always finish her meals. To Caris's delight, she tried some of my french fries and loved them. Sisters can bond over french fries. :)
To end the day we had our driver again bring us to the pizza place with Wi-Fi. (this time with out her so we can spend time on our iPads!) Since there was not school for our kids today we were able to Facetime with them and a few others that were at the house. I cannot tell you how happy that made me! I am pretty homesick for those kiddos so at least seeing their faces ... and the faces they make at us... makes us both happy. (we hadn't been able to see them since Monday night)
Tomorrow we are picking her up late morning and heading to a mall that has bounce houses on the weekend. I guess it's a real mall (there's an Apple store and everything!). That will be a real contrast to the areas of Accra we've been to so far.
Please continue to pray for our time together. We have only a few days left! Also pray for our health - my stomach was a little off today but I think it was just a little nerves and anxiety.
Love to all,
Robin
