Ghana beats Nigeria 2-1!!!!

The whole gang going to the Fan Park to watch Ghana beat Nigeria on a big screen with thousands of excited Ghanaians (and a few other obronis). It was neat to go as a group because eveyone that is in the office right now was able to go. Could we look any sillier? :)

L-R: Jeremy Maller (our new regional Project Manager), Jonathan Callus (teacher at missionary school -AIS), Eva, me, Michelle, Lee and their son TJ. And down in front - Cebu the guard dog:)
Not pictured but went with us: John Schindler (friend) and Joseph Kebbie (our Training Co-ordinator- he was taking the picture)




Yes, this is my boss - Lee Sonius. And yes, he is into football and the national fever for the Ghana Black Stars as much as anyone. Actually the nationals just love it and were honking and waving to him (and all of us) as we rode to the game yesterday.



















Well.....when in Rome.....

(I just had to borrow Lee's goofy hat for a minute. Can't take myself too seriously can I?)

I don't know if you realize how important to national pride a football tournament like this is here. There is no way to adequately describe the electricity and fun and camaraderie that is around the whole country right now. If they win the cup it will be unbelievable.

At the Fan Park last night after each goal and the win, everyone was dancing and shouting and singing and hugging whomever was near them. It was crazy and wonderful all at the same time.
