FIRST MONTH IN GHANA

I've been here a little over a month now,  Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

The old and storied Commonwealth Hall at the U of Ghana
That's the Calvin car on the right.  My "flat" is
right in front of the car.  Notice the drains/gutters.
Beware you don't slip into them. They are unforgiving.
Voila!  And Zees ees my flat.  I'm on the first floor.

My friendly front yard tree. He watches over me day and
night.  Do you have a good name for him?  It's definitely
a "him," don't you agree?
Mothers and children at the prayers that close out the
period of Ramadan.  There was a big crowd.  100,000?
You've got to really love coconuts to do this!

Big waves at Brenu Beach
Group Pic
Fishing  Boats in  Elmina

Here's a batik cloth I made, with some help from the batik lady.
Mine is the one on the left.  I had a shirt made from it,
but they made it too small.  Major bummer! 
The batik lady.  She really enjoys the work.
