Ghanna!

Hey everyone,
We are going to be in Ghana in the morning! Crazy. Not much has been going on…we have had classes all week and a day off on Saturday. We left Morocco on Monday night and have been sailing since. Neither of us have gotten sea sick this time, nor have we had to take medicine! We saw dolphins! We were at lunch and then a bunch of people began to crowd around the windows and we looked out and saw a group of dolphins, jumping alongside the boat! They looked so jolly and were a dark, grayish color and were actually pretty small. Rachael also thinks she saw a whale but Kiah thinks it was just a bird diving into the water. However, there was an other guy who saw it also and he thinks it was a whale too…it has been very hot and humid these past few days ad we are told that Ghana will also be very humid, perfect for mosquitoes and malaria. Actually on that note, Rachael took her malaria medicine today and then took a nap. When she woke up, she went to go to the bathroom and when she opened the door she began to feel light-headed, she had ringing in her ears and she got very hot. She doesn’t really know what happened during that time but she fell forward but was able to catch herself. She heard Kiah’s voice asking if she was okay and that brought her back. She then looked at the side effects of the malaria medicine and dizziness and ringing in the ears are two of them. Kiah was not affected by the medicine. Hopefully the side effects will go away in time to explore Ghana! Well on that note, we will say adieu and will try to write more about Ghana once we get there.
Love you all,
Kiah and Rachael
