My Stomach and I Need Counseling

So I had my first stay in the hospital.  I got very sick on Tuesday and with the key symptom of a high fever was sent immediately to the hospital.  At first the doctor thought I had malaria but eventually the tests came back as a run of the mill nasty stomach infection.  I was hooked up to an IV and stayed the night so they could monitor me.  On...

It's been sooooooooooo long.

Hi folks. Yes I am still alive. Just. My rib is almost totally healed now and i just get the occasional snatch to temind me not to go mad but since then I have been bitten by some insect or antoher whilst asleep and unfortunately it went for the area just above my right eye. This meant it's juices went straight into the lymphatic channels around...

Week 3 - Midway and Cape Coast Slave History

So, it's that time of the week again. And the Saints lost, which just tainted the weekend somewhat...

I can hardly believe that I am halfway through my stay in Ghana already. As I noted late last week, I spent most of the week at the law firm last week, but I am making up for that now by spending the whole week at the orphanage - the Gh...

How are the eats you ask?

So, grandma farwell always asks how the eats are. Well, I will say this... First of all, I was not aware that I was such a picky eater. Eating a soup like substance with my hands? Not quite there yet. Eating goat? Definitely not there. (although I certainly might have without realizing it. If you ask me some of that 'beef' was a little on the ch...

And we're off!

A 10 hour layover in an airport without AC is not necessarily ideal, but knowing I'll be in Kenya soon is definitely helping!

Sarah has safely arrived in Nairobi and emailed me that she would be there to pick Kristin and me up at the airport (at 5:30am!) What a good sister!


After a quick flight from Boston to New York, we...

Ghana's Story

Ghana
Ghana was the first English-speaking country on the trip so far, which proved interesting to read the religious related shop names such as "Jesus Loves Me Hairsalon" and "God Bless Fast Food" - very random! Unfortunately it also meant that locals could pester you more for money/pens/water bottles, whereas other countries a bewil...

Day 4 and a half: Odokor Police Station

The last 24 hours have revealed much about previous incidents but little about the thieves. A number of attacks have been reported over the months, including the American with the mobile who apparently had his bag cut with a knife. I briefly wonder if my robbers were similarly equipped. However, winner of most unfortunate bugger is easily scoope...

Accra

Accra, 12/04 Miles Travelled: 19230 We are now in Accra, the capital of Ghana on its southern coast. We said goodbye to our truck, guides, and team members today as our 5-week adventure in West Africa is now over. Several of the group are continuing on to Cameroon, Kenya, and even South Africa, and we wish them well. It has definitely been a tou...

Aramkimaradas

Az utobbi napokban eleg surun volt aramkimaradas. Az elmult harom honapban nem tapasztaltam ennyit, de mostansag rovidebb-hosszabb idore elment az aram. Most mar bekeszultunk gyertyakkal, ugyhogy eleg romantikus hangulatot lehet varazsolni, de sokszor bosszanto, mikor dolgoznal a szamitogepen, es vagy epp elotte, vagy epp a kellos kozepen elmegy...
