Suzi's Visit to Ghana

I had been looking forward to March since I came out here, mainly for Suzi’s visit but also as the midpoint for my stay out in Ghana. After my trip to Togo and Benin at the beginning of the month I was already enjoying being in Africa more than before and having only a few days until Suzi’s
arrival I was in a pretty good place and …

Tema, June 22, 2009 – Monday

There was still smell of rain in the air on my first morning in Tema. It was as if every wet surface was currently undergoing evaporation, even if the sky was grey and cloudy. But "Le Domino" hotel had a very neat garden restaurant, paved with smooth stone slabs in imitation of marble, and every table there was covered and protected by its own …

Fufu, you are my Everest.

Well three days have passed in the chaotic, humid and completely different land of West Africa. And it has all been great.

There are 40 people in my program (SYTO – Student Work and Travel) and they are all pretty great. It's tough being the only American though, I have had to completely change the way I talk.

All done but the shouting

Well it's the last day of the first leg of the trip and it's a whole new bunch of folk tomorrow. We are loosing 7 and gaining 14 so the truck is going to be fairly full.

Acccccccra

Let's back up to NYC, because I didn't really get a chance to write about what I did there (because I was writing about tribal jurisdiction over reservation lands and other such final exam material). Other than spending a lot of time in NYCs public libraries and Starbucks, I had a super time exploring the city... Walked a lot, by NY Standards ( …

A little bit of this

So this has been an interesting time. I don't really have much to write but I have picture to post. It's the week of my 20th Birthday so I'm very excited. Enjoy the pictures …

Leaving Ghana

Tuesday morning, after breakfast, we headed back to Accra. The ride was pleasant and shorter. After freshening up at Auntie Rose's home and having a late lunch of boiled yams, a stew made from spinach, garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes, & mackerel - it was off to the airport. I am heading to Uganda on a red-eye flight via Nairobi. Bye bye Ghana …
