International Moving, Ghana Style
As our friends and families (and their poor, abused address books) are well aware, moving is a hobby with us (this current shift will be to our 14th home since 1978) but this particular move is a new experience for us... After our books and kitchenware were packed up in boxes, almost everything... Read more...

Say It Isn't So!
Well, this is the entry I have dreaded for a long time- the one I was hoping I wouldn't have to write for quite a while.In the middle of December, we will be moving away from Ghana. :-(I'll pause here for you to take a moment to become as bummed as I am.We made Duke cry, and he made Jane cry,...

Mother Nature's Little Joke
I realize that a good portion of my blog entries have soft porn involved, somehow, even if it's not intended.You can probably chalk that up to the basically immature nature of your Blog Writer, but sometimes I just can't help myself.When we were on vacation recently at Axim Beach, we made ample...

A Crappy Problem...
Today's subject is a bummer.But it's something that we keep getting smacked in the face with, and it's probably one of the biggest cultural disconnects we have encountered here.Certainly it's bad for Ghana.You know I love Ghana, and especially Ghanaians, and god knows America is not a world...

Ghana, The Beach, and Everything
October is fall break time at Lincoln school (can you believe they've been in school for nine weeks already????), so Ted burned some vacation time and we took off.We wanted to stay in Ghana, but we didn't want to spend our time bouncing over dicey roads looking for badly signposted attractions,...

Kente 101
Ghana is (or it should be!) famous as the home of Kente cloth. It is woven by hand in sharp, bright colors by men of the Ashanti tribe.The "usual" Kente comes in strips about 4-6 inches wide and five or six feet long. If you want a garment, many strips are sewn together to make a large... Read more...

Need for Speed
After more than two years without a mall, a movie theater, or a crappy fast food restaurant, and more than a year since they took away his sad little neighborhood half pipe, you probably think Cooper never gets to have any teen-aged boy fun.Never fear.Accra has a Go-Kart track.I kid you...

Chili Peppers!
On our very first road trip we saw tons of Ghanaian Red Chili peppers drying on the roadsides and at the time I thought to myself, "I'll have to get a picture of those sometime."Cut to now, more than two years later and I finally got my picture.Dopey me was thinking those peppers would just hang...

Ghana, Meet My Sister
My sister Judy was here this past week, and she got a whirlwind tour of Ghana. Or at least the parts of it we could get to in a week. And that meant, of course, that I got another crack at the the Kpandu Pottery works and the Cedi Bead Factory.More pottery!More beads!And both places had all... Read more...

Mark, Small Business Owner
Whew! Did you miss me? Since my last post school has started, and along with it came all the back-to-school craziness including Back to School Night which we never miss because it's the one night all of Cooper's teachers tell us how much they like him and what a charming, funny guy he is.Because...
