Linda admiring the Toa Tree. I think this was in Kumasi. Looks quite similar to a Calabash.
Linda standing in front of the Akan symbol in Kumasi. This symbol means 'Only God' or 'Except God' and is pretty central to Ghanaian life. In the local language it is called Gye Nyame.

Women carrying the world on their heads!
Linda with Robert cycling beside her. Robert is one of the most promising young students with a fantastic grip of English and a real passion for learning.

Wow!! What a rich culture with a bamboo orchestra. I would love to hear that and just be there with the village people, the coastline, the cocoa and the gator.
Mary, in all the pictures you look so happy! I think it will be very hard to say good-byes.
Thank-you for doing this fun blog.
