Ghana Pics: Part 2

By some stroke of luck (or Karma), the internet is not only free today (yes, free), it is also fairly fast. So in an effort to pay it forward, I have dedicated this post to more pics from Ghana. Enjoy!


We tried to get some Dixcove kids to pose in a canoe. I don't think everyone understood.

Each canoe is actually made the old-fashioned way: hollowing it out of one really big tree.


Voilà moi, after hiking up the top of the mountain overlooking Busua Beach (evidently the property we were on with this great view and several bungalows is own by a German man who runs the local gold mine. Danke schön.)

Christy in the role of monkey, when our canoe trip proved simian-less.


Relaxing on our canoe ride while our guides to all the work. Thanks William & Mary Crew Team!

After our trip up river, we learned how palm wine is made.


Christy, showing off the latest trend in footwear on the runways of Milan.

Me, standing in front of giant bamboo stalks. It was a pretty cool site to see.

Hey Eric!! Just checking out your blog for the first time. Sounds like the Ghana trip was indeed fun, and I am super impressed with your entry about your work in Karma. I never considered the perspective that working in sat. villages might be even more welcome. Keep up the sorties with your major - I haven't been able to do any work with mine yet; but then again, I'm not sure I've really pushed for it. Cheers!
