The last day in Ghana I went back into Accra for awhile with my friends Jenna, Abby, Dana and Matt and we just hung around the market until it was time to go back to the ship. The market on the beach was great because it was full of shops and people who were always so happy to see us and talk to us but as it was our last day and we didn’t have much money left we felt a little crowded by all the people begging us to come see their shops. It was a fun day though and I was sad to leave Ghana L
The first day back on the ship was Neptune Day (yay) but the rest of the sail was normal class days and studying. We had crappy weather which was very unexpected as the coast of Africa is typically very dry with no clouds in sight but we literally went seven days without seeing the sun. All we got was fog and wind and rain and waves which was a bit annoying. We had hoped that we would have good weather for astronomy but with all the clouds we could not see a thing so hopefully the weather clears up a bit so we can study the southern sky and see the meteor shower!
I’m sorry this is such a short and boring post but sadly we didn’t do too much besides boring homework haha. We watched some movies and played games and such—typical college stuff. Other than that not much to report—sorry. I will tell you all about South Africa later and that will be much more interesting.

P.S. We went to get wifi two days ago and I was excited to get some pictures up for you all but whenever we tried to upload pictures our computer batteries would drain SUPER fast! So that failed :( I will try again when we get to Buenos Aires but no promises.
If you want pictures of my trip send me an e-mail (colleen.lesch.f12@semesteratsea.org) and I can compress pictures in a word doc and send them to you—just let me know!
