Posting from Home

We arrived in Hartford last night around 8pm, a little weary but healthy except for a minor finger wound. We're glad to be home but many of us struggled with leaving Ghana and hope to return. These are the photos I attempted to upload while overseas. Of course, we all have many stories to tell you as well.

Last Night in Kumasi

The most frustrating part of our trip has been aborted blogging attempts after 30-40 minutes watching the screen. I'm on again now and will try to post a few photos from our most recent escapades in the orphanage in Kumasi and our excursions in the city. I'll post the rest of the photos that won't upload here when we return on Tuesday. All is well and, while the trip has been great, we are leaning towards home. We make the 4-5 hour drive back to Accra at 7am tomorrow to have a 12 noon lunch we have arranged for all of our host families. Then we'll work on packing for the return flight. See you soon.

Photos from Africa

from Kumasi

The connections from Elmina were terrible. We left the coast this morning; we all miss the beach but are excited about new adventures here. We're in the seat of the Ashanti Kingdom and tomorrow we are hoping for spme physical work in the African heat at an orphanage on the outskirts of Kumasi. I'm going to try uploading some photos on a new post while we order and eat dinner. All is good here.

Delayed Greetings from Ghana

It's Tuesday afternoon from Coconut Beach Resort in Elmina where we're atying until Thursday morning. All are healthy, well fed, and pretty happy. The homestays were successful - busy and full days. We've spoent a lot of time in the van as traffic here is pretty bad, even by Hartford rush-hour standards. I've spent the better part of a half hour trying to upload images anbd have lost this post once for my efforts. So you'll have to wait until tomorrow eveing, our time, for my next effort to send some photos. All the best from us to you.

6 Days to Flight Time

We finished our last prep class and are eager to get our feet on African soil.
