A few hours from Egypt, and we're in Ghana. Doing more good works was the purpose of(or excuse for) the trip. It was very hot, and very Africa - everything you expect Africa to be is there: the jungle, the waterfall, the shanty towns of little wooden houses, the mud huts with the thatched roofs, the water pumps, the animals, the teeming people with beautiful posture carrying loads on their heads. What a hard life so many people have. Christianity is very visible, with many businesses incorporating God etc into their names. A couple of the best are: 'Our Lady's Mercy Limited' and 'God Can Do Welding and Fabricating'. I also quite liked 'Duane of Mercy'.

Greetings from Ghana
A few hours from Egypt, and we're in Ghana. Doing more good works was the purpose of(or excuse for) the trip.

Oh Lordy Sandra,
ReplyDeleteO K the indigenous, plump canaries but you didn't get that close to that alligator, one hopes, and that monkey with the excessive but subtly coloured eye make-up vainly trying to ameliorate the distressing expression in its lying eyes.
What on earth did the students do?
Anyway, what wonderful photographs.
I want some of those canary-sparrows. Did they have winning ways?
I hope you are safely back under His M's protection.
