Happy Holidays from Ghana!
This is a top pick! ... I could definitely live in Accra! To someone who has been so far removed from the U.S. for so long, Accra is like going back there. The South in Ghana is so much more developed than Benin. There are nice roads, freeways, stoplights, convenience stores, ...
Attack!
This is a top pick! As far as TV goes, the kids were able to catch Sponge Bob this morning. We also saw the Global logo on one channel. Last night the AC was working in the living room but we can't get it to turn on tonight. Turns out you can't have the fans and the lights ...

This is a top pick! ... Bus". This place is called Afrikiko River Front Resort and it is so nice. There are nice flowering plants in bloom. That is one thing about Ghana, at least at this time of year, it is not very lush or even very green. We are given a tour by the manager - ...
Cape Coast to Accra
This is a top pick! ... as some beads and a shirt for Shawn. He has brought the boys each a vest which is very heavy and I'm not sure when someone in Ghana would ever wear something of that weight. He also has gifts for us to bring back to two of his friends in Canada which we ...
First Full Day in Accra
This is a top pick! ... ready, you'd find him dozing in the truck in the driveway in case we needed him. Being Sunday, and not having any cedis (Ghana currency) our choices of where to change money were limited. We thought we may have to return to the airport, but Sylvester ...
Our First Night in Accra
This is a top pick! ... 't pay him. I said I wasn't giving any more money so finally Sylvester stepped in and we were on our way. Our first impressions of Ghana were - crazy drivers and bad roads - at least the cow path we took to get to our Villa we had rented. We were staying ...
Winding down

Off to Krobo-Odumase
This is a top pick! ... become a running joke! The road to Akosombo is very good -paved with two 1,000 Cedi tolls. Getting out of Accra was just a zoo! Ghana loves it's traffic circles and everyone just heads for the middle. We did see our first accident today. Outside Accra ...
Accra- Here we Come!
This is a top pick! Can you believe that they played the same Will & Grace show we just watched on the last flight? How many episodes must they have made and we end up with the same one? The show isn't worth watching once, let alone twice! Dinner again was an offering of ...
A Day At The Beach
This is a top pick! ... apples, steering wheels, caution triangles, briefcases, religious pictures, Q-tips - you name it! You can't help but notice that Ghana is a very religious country. The store names all relate to God somehow such as God Willing Computer Repair. You can ...

Fantasy Coffins
This is a top pick! ... the funeral until the coffin is finished. When there is an unexpected death, for example from a traffic accident, some coffins can be finished in two weeks. In Ghana funerals are such productions, it would take that long to get the plans in place ...
