Deanne's sister, Amy, decided to visit us after a lot of prompting.
We took her to the market where she chose something other than the fish.
Amy went to the temple with us and with Alice who we had taught.
This is the Kpone Ward on their temple trip. Five members took out their endowments and two couples were sealed.
Amy arrived in Accra bearing gifts. Cheetos were the first thing to be opened and eaten.
Shopping at the Pit to take home some Africa.
Meeting Bernice-Days for Girls in her Bernice Bags shop.
Makola Market where the locals shop
Buying material at Esthers.
Eating local food, joloff rice, chicken, red red, fried plantain.
Sharing FuFu and Fish Soup with friendly neighbors.
Fufu is eaten with the fingers.
Touching a live aligator.
Cape Coast Castle
Cape Coast Castle makes your heart feel heavy. May we never forget.
The green nets of the Cape coast fishermen.
The castle was also a fort
Boat trip across the Volta River to Empower Project on the island and visiting the town of Big Ada. Look it up on google earth - Big Ada, Ghana
Families live in mud huts and have no electricity here.
Playground equipment generate electricity for batteries for lamps the children can take home to do their homework.
Amy joins in recess.
These children are generating electricity which gets stored in batteries they take home for light to do their homework by.
After wading where the Volta runs into the Atlantic, we head for home in our handmade fishing boat.
TheWild Gecko is pretty wilde.
Last stop at the National Cultural Center and then run to catch the plane.
Any other adventurers interested in coming to Ghana?
