We're here

Well we managed to arrive in Accra safely to a very warm welcome. Bishop Matthias, Father Lawrence and Angela were at the airport and wisked us into a very crowded, hot, busy city. The traffic was very thick and confusing and it took us an hour or more to reach our lodgings in the city....but oh the sights. We were absolutely overwelmed with the people we saw and the city itself.We had our frist meal of rice and chicken. Yummy!

On Friday we headed out to see some of the Cape Coast. We visited Kakum National Park and we all risked life and limb on a canopy walk. There were seven long shakey,high rope walks...you would all be so proud of Sharon. There was no turning back. She sang "Cruising down the River" all the way across.
We had a lunch at a crocodile farm called Hans cottage and saw three ugly creatures lurking around the grounds. In the afternoon we visited Cape Coast castle where the British held the slaves before shipping them out on the ships. It was a very emotional and touching place and we were all impressed with the forrgiveness in the hearts of the people of Ghana. We dropped in for a quick visit with Bishop Daniel on the Cape Coast.We found another place to spend the night and had a lovely meal of chicken and rice.

Saturday was spent on the road..from eight in the morning till seven at night. We
