Carl,
I’d love a ride around the cape on a motorcycle. I’d get one, but |I am prone to falling and a bike would definitely be a hazard though that one time was such fun.

Thank you, Bob.
Yes, being in the village is so different from when I was here in town. It is so quiet I can hear the voices from the compound next door and even the sounds of goats and sheep.

I am eatin a lot of Ghanaian food and loving it.

Christer,
They are beautiful and so filled with song. They go fast to and from the tree. I love listening to them and watching their wings.

I think you are right, and it is the bed. I’m going to make some changes tonight and see what happens.

Thanks, Christer!!

Bob,
It was so dark, and the house is not all that familiar beyond the bedroom that I needed it to make my way to the front door.

My Dear Hedley,
I loved that ride.

The monkeys are for the road back to Accra. I am leaving here on Monday to start my way back but sightseeing on the way.

The iPad is a perfect torch!

Bill,
I went to a store called Zacks in Tamale where I found lots of expensive goodies. The cheese, though, was such a hit!

In one of my last letters from here I wrote that I was memorizing every sight, sound and smell so I would never forget Ghana. I never thought I’d get back here though I swore I would. I can’t believe it has been twice!

Cuidado,
Thank you! I have figured out it is the mattress so I am making some changes hoping the back will be better. It is driving me crazy.

Congratulation! I cam only imagine a newborn and a toddler! I’m glad you were there.

I am going shopping in the market today!

Kat, it is beginning to sound as if you have found a new home. Enjoy it.

Hips and backs can certainly shorten your stride and that gentleman was nice to offer the ride. I still would enjoy my motorcycle IF I had it here now. But am beginning to be of the age where I am thinking of converting it to a trike. LOL Not quite as stable as I used to be. I’ll bring it by when we are both back and give you a breezy ride around the Cape.

The best parts of your trip is that you are living it as a native. Most of us don’t have that opportunity in our travels. You are lucky to have good friends that show you the real culture and how much it has changed over the years. I am thoroughly enjoying your posts.

I hope you don’t burn it up I use mine as a night light not as a torch.
