We have housing.

I went to Kumasi on the bus early on Friday.  I arranged with Pastor Frank Osei of the Victory Chapel to install an air conditioner in the Church's 2nd manse in exchange for using that bedroom for our stay.  It is in the opposite end of the house from the main house area and we should be no bother to Pastor Texan and his family with whom we will share the kitchen.
There is no wardrobe or closet nor a chest of drawers or table, so we will need to be creative.  We will have our own bathroom with a tub, although there is no running water, but buckets of water are supplied for bathing and flushing. 
We seem to be struggling somewhat more with jet lag this time.  Today I awoke about 2:45 and decided to arise and catch the early bus back to Accra.  Marlayne slept in until 3 AM and arose at that time in Accra.  However as we compared notes later, this was the first day that either of us felt somewhat normal and had some energy.
I used my energy to walk a mile or so up Achimota Rd. to visit about 8 used car dealers and find that Toyotas are very expensive here.   We are looking at dealing on a 1998 Toyota Carinae.  (or is it a Carina E ?) 
Church tomorrow and I forgot to pack my good clothes.  Oh well!  It can't be worse than 2000 when I showed up in shorts!
