Ghana - Absolutely golden!
... hundreds of them. They don't return until 7am the next day. The boats are all rowed, incredible, wonder they look hard! Had a few too many beers around a bonfire...couldn't be helped, there was a group of Canadian health work volunteers still at university who wanted to know everything we'd done... Haha not sure they realised just how I like an audience... As does mr Combrink! I could tell we lost them when they went to the toilet and never ...

... a.m., dang! There was a restaurant so we grabbed our time to eat the breakfast. The volunteer and I split the cost for French toasts & I ordered a tall glass of fresh-squeezed pineapple & ginger (strong!) juice. Man, it sure aroused my palate! I took my time savorin’ the flavor of the juice. I no doubt wanna make the one when I get back to my homeland. And so are other Ghanaian foods. I hope to find a good cook book here ...
