Obama Excitement Grows in Ghana

Ghana Log 7

While wandering around Green Court, an area close to Labadi Beach, I met a 22-year-old student named Lovelace Telleh. I noticed that he wore a cross around his neck and we found out that we were both Catholic, so from that point of reference we started to hit it off. It turned out we shared an interest in music, writing, and talking about girls.

I was a bit nervous, at first, that Lovelace might not be as genuine as he seemed, but I was wrong. He helped me travel all around Accra, translated for me during interviews, took pictures for me while I interviewed, and taught me a lot about Ghana.

At the end of the day, I gave him some money for a taxi and he wouldn't take it! But, then I insisted and he finally took it. So, not bad for a Ghanaian. Anyways, he was an awesome guy and we will hang out again soon.
