A few people asked if I would write a blog again for this trip and so, although I sometimes slack on actually posting, I thought I would try again since it is a nice way to share pictures and stories beyond the reaches of facebook and emails. Hope you enjoy!!

More photos - on facebook

Okay, so I posted some photos on here!! But this blog is actually fairly impractical when it comes to posting pictures because you can only do 5 at a time. As great as our internet connection is at home... the loading takes its time.

I have posted more photos on facebook for those who have access to that :)

Ghana!


River Safari!

The maman in the courtyard that Hanna and Jesper stayed in!



Little sheep! Well, goat!


Preparing shea nut to make shea butter/shea soap! It smells delicious when it is in this form but when it becomes oil and it is in food...my tummy does not approve!




At the border...ready for adventure!!

Wedding pre-Christmas!

Pictures from a wedding we went to before Christmas! A colleague of Sarah's who was marrying a Burkinabè...traditional wedding in the village.


See the people in the trees?? This was towards the evening!


The happy married couple!


AMAZING 10 year old dancers!!


Just like this photo!


Meeting the delegation from his mother's side of the family!


Her family meeting the village chiefs, for them to welcome her into their community!


And the trek begins to the village to meet the elders!


Lots of people, lots of dust, lots of HOT! But very very special!


The entertainers after lunch was served!


The head table at the wedding!
