My apologies for not blogging since we landed on Thursday. Found out that only one of us could be on without re-booting. UnFortunately Joy has used up all the good information, so this will be a short entry. She is so much better with imagination and words than I.
First, although it was a possible side trip, we will not be going to Burkino Faso, if anyone was worried.
Ghana's number one tourist attraction has to be the people. They must be the friendliest in the world. If I wanted more tourism here I would just advertise a broad Ghanaian smile. Joy has told everyone about our first few days here and being invited to join a large group for beer at a wake in Jamestown, the old part of Accra. Daniel was apparently a good man and I hope that he knows that two strangers enjoyed a wonderful time at his wake. There was another going on yesterday just up the street, but we weren't invited to that one. Daniel died at 57 and the woman up the street was only 53. No wonder that the casket shop (open air)I passed while Joy was painting yesterday, was so certain that I would be interested in their product. I politely declined, citing transportation costs.
Today we go to meet some representatives of the Mmofri (sp) Foundation to see if Joy can do some type of project with them. At this point, we hope to find our way to Ada Foah at the mouth of the Volta River tomorrow.
