I think so.

Wow! This is an awesome post. It's so true that "they" don't show us this kind of stuff in the media. The pictures are so beautiful, my jaw dropped. I'm taking a tour of the regional forums for the first time now that I have the time and focus (fiance is finally with me!) and this is a wonderful start. Thank you!

No problem!

WOOOOW, Zee. Those are some awesome photos! I loved them all. My favorite scene was the one that I quoted. Thanks a lot for sharing those.

Omoba, I know what you mean. There were so many beautiful fabrics. I want all of them. Maybe we can shop til' we drop one day in one of those stores.

Still waiting for the Dakar pics LL

We have to take a stack of money for the fabrics, they colors were so awesome.

I think so.

I saw the craziest accident while I was in Ghana on Tema Motor Way! It was absolutely horrific and extremely sad and troubling! We passed by multi-wreckages, and you can just imagine what we saw .

On a brighter note I think you, me and LL were in Ghana at the same time in 2007, if I am not mistaken. I was there at the end of Jan to the last day in Apr...

I was there in July.

Wow, you were there for a long time. I wish I could do that.

I wish I could have stayed longer. If my sis wasn't getting married at that time, I would have definitely stayed about 5 months...and came back just before my program started! I hope I have the chance to visit for a couple months before I make the permanent move. It's not the same staying for a few weeks...I feel more depressed at the end...aw hell! Whether I stay a long or short time, I will be depressed

Omoba, I have a whole album that I need to post. I will get on it when I get home tonight.

Asante, you are right, I was there end of January and into Feb. I've been depressed lately....I've had my trip memories on the brain and December isn't coming fast enough for me. I know I'll cry again towards the end of this next trip.

LL.........Dakar pics pretty please with sugar on top ?

All I can say is WOW! Seeing these pictures makes me want to throw a few things in a backpack and hit the road. After reading a book called Nomads of Niger by Carol Beckwith and Marion Van Offelen it has been my dream to go backpacking across Africa but these Photos have really put in me a longing to make my dream happen.

My oldest duaghters father is from Ghana and when I showed her these pictures she fell in love with them. Her father has asked her several times to accompany him on a trip back home but she was always scared to go without me but after seeing these photos I think she may have changed her mind!These pictures and stories are simply breathtaking and a delight to read. You ladies have lit that adventerous spark in me once again! Thank you for sharing!

I know I know. I keep trying to find free time at night to upload them all, but this school week has been particularly busy. I haven't forgotten.
