Yesterday Kelly and I arrived, along with our kids and teammates, for a week of much-anticipated and may I say, well-earned time off! We joke to each other that we can't believe we get to spend 7 days spending all of our time, money, and energy on ourselves!! (Those in ministry will understand this selfish sounding tone).
Ghana is great....well not all of it, but Accra is so much fun. We don't have any place like this in Benin. The capital of Benin is nothing like Accra. Here, we get to eat at fast food restaurants and go to large nice grocery stores!! Just so you can appreciate, we bought the following items here because we can't get them ever in Cotonou:
Pop-Tarts
Welch's Strawberry Squeeze Jelly
Betty Crocker Cake Mixes (with tub icing!)
Frozen strawberries
and well, there's alot more but Kelly did all the picking out so I can't think of each item....I just know we spent alot of money, but got alot of good stuff (stuff is cheaper here in Ghana, too....much better prices than in Benin).
Tomorrow we're going swimming at this super fancy 5-star beach resort hotel....amazing, can't wait. Yesterday, we ate at the Food Court where there is a Pizza Inn!! Later in the week, I think for Father's Day I've been told, we are going back to the resort hotel where there is a Japanese habachi grill restaurant! Lots of fun things to do, eat, and great souvenirs/Christmas presents (hey, we gotta plan early when we have little access to things in Benin!)

We thought you'd enjoy seeing a picture of us and the Prices at the Japanese Hibachi restaurant...yes, in West Africa! This is located inside the 5-start resort hotel located in Accra, Ghana. The chef is showing off for Tori (who applauds at each trick, so he is having a blast). The back of Timothy's head just looks cute, huh?! Austin Price and his mom, Dawna, are sitting next to Tori. We had a great time, and although expensive, it wasn't near the cost of these types of restaurants in the States. What a treat!
