Run for your lives! The rain is coming!

Hard at work in our office computer lab preparing for training sessions and being goofy!!!

Whoa, Bob!  You decided to also visit Boti Falls!  Well, fancy meeting you here!

Elyse, Bob and Sarah (The best trainers ever in the history of...ever) after our long hike!

Sarah taking a moment to take it all in.

Wow!  The trees were phenomenal!!!

Well, the month that I (Sarah) was down in the Eastern Region for the new group's training is finally over!  Whew!  It was a long, busy, tiring, but FUN four weeks!  It was great to get to know the knew group of trainees, and impart some of my wisdom from the last year of teaching.  The above pictures are from a day trip we took with the group to a nearby waterfalls in the Eastern Region called Boti Falls.  The Eastern Region is full of lush green trees and beautiful rolling hills - very picturesque!  And definitely a different change of scenery from the flat savanah of our home!  But both places are beautiful in different ways.  On the way up to the lookout point in the picture, we had to climb some steep up and down trail through jungle-forest, I was getting high in the mountains!  Then, we got to have pizza for lunch!  After lunch, we drove to another falls, walked down the path to get there, got to the bottom, were there for two minutes before someone looked up and said, Whoa, looks like it might rain.  30 seconds after that, one of our PC staff members, Tony, yells, 'Run for your life!  The rain is coming!' And not less than 30 seconds after that, a torrential downpour starts!  Awesome!  So a bunch of us ran through the rain all the way back to the bus...then proceeded to wait for those that chickened out and tried to hide :)  What a great day :)

Tomorrow I'm off to Kumasi to get ready for our twice-yearly GYD meeting to be held on Sunday, and looking forward to seeing Jordan there too!  Definitely a fun time to interact with new peeps, and catch-up with friends from my group, but I am ready to be home, sleep in my own bed and see my friends in the village! Just in time to leave again the first week of August to meet my family!  Can't wait to see you Mom, Dad, and Jake!
