Rick,
The coffee comes in small, long packets, one cup per packet. Each morning, I open my packet, add water and there it is. I, who love coffee, decided that instant is better than none even with evaporated milk. There are also small tins of coffee which is what i bought for my time in Bolga. I will try and purchase a small one and bring it home for you. I don’t know where it is made-never looked.

Kat, I’m curious about the Nescafe. Is it the glass jars with Brit phone numbers/addresses on them? We both think those are the very best instant coffee ever!! We go to Indian food stores in the states, specifically to find these jars of coffee. We carefully write on the label where a store is that we got it and try again when that jar runs out. We only drink instant when traveling to friends’ houses that do not drink coffee. The U.S. Nescafe is not in the same league as the Brit labeled coffee of the (seemingly) same brand/style.

I’m so glad it only was the mattress! Life can become miserable when the back hurts.

Bob,
A few years ago some archeologist disputed that the graves were from the time of the slave camp. He was allowed a dig and opened a couple of the graves. They were filled with bones from multiple bodies which proved their history.

When the rainy season ends, there will not be rain from late September until April, and the days will reach over 100 degrees many times. This is their weather cycle.

My Dear Hedley,
I wish I were not so far away so you could hear my groans! I will take plenty of pictures of the critters which are supposed to be friendly.

Hi Caryn,
That’s what I drank my 2+ years here and you do get used to it after a fashion. I figure I really need the coffee. Ghanaians don’t drink milk which is why there is no fresh.

Christer,
My Ghanaian former students had never been there so they were happy to see some of Ghana’s history, though they thought it awful that Africans kept slaves.

Last night I changed around the mattress and my back is better today!

Birgit,
I am having fun telling you about my experiences, all I see and hear. This is still an amazing place despite everything. Thanks for looking up all of my places so people can see them. My sister loved seeing the Bolga market.
