So I haven't written in a while, yet amazing things have been happening. Maybe not on the surface but within my life. I feel myself growing into an adult. It's sometimes painful in that I have to mentally accept things that I know my youthful side would rather hold on to. Yet, I also know that I am pushing towards my breakthrough, and this one's...

well, its been a while, and I dont even know where to start! so last wednesday we spent the day chilling out before we went to labadi for the stereotypical reggae beach party, which was really good fun, we smoked and drunk far too much and had a terrible hangover the next day but the night was fun. For security reasons me, laura and emily gaine...

Jan and Dave left on Friday night but Mike and I continued down from Kumasi to Accra. The road wasn't too bad a bit bumpy in places but nothing compared to some of the roads we have experienced on this trip. There are still road works in places but looks like it will be good when it's finished. To our surprise we found a "highway rest stop" abou...

A Visit to the National Theater There are no movie theaters in Accra, student performances at the University amphitheater are amateurish, and the elegant National Theater generally does not advertise its performances in advance. As a result, our entertainment options have been limited. This past weekend was unusual in that there was an announcem...

It's an 18:15 arrival and it's dark. When you're within spitting distance of the equator, you get served up a daily dose of 12 hours daylight; 6am to 6pm and no negotiation either way.

We're in Africa now and our travels have truly begun. Wednesday morning we arrived at Heathrow airport in plenty of time to get checked in, and even have brunch at Garfunkle's before the flight to Accra. Fiona and Tatiana trolled through the airport bookstores as they love to do, and Tatiana bought the third volume in a favorite mystery series b...

Dear Family and Friends- Since I am computer deficient after living in the bush, this may appear with weird paragraph signs and dots between the words. Sorry. We got all sorts of responses from our last update that we thought we would send another. June was a busy month for us. Joe finally completed all the paper work for his onion storage facil...
