thoughtsofanadventurer:
Of course, after being at the home for a week, we all got pretty attached to the kids. Everyone had their favorites.
We gave nicknames to some of them who were too little or didn’t understand enough to tell us their names. There was “grandpa,” so called because he reminded me of a little old…
This incident haunted me for all of 3rd grade.

Just a quick post today.
The workbooks available for the students were rather fascinating. They each had a picture of some person on them that the Ghanaians hold in high regard. Many times, it was football (soccer) players, people I know almost nothing about. But many times, there were pictures…

I made a separate blog for my trip to Ghana so I don’t have to use as many texts and calls with my family.

It has been a rough, interesting, sometimes enjoyable experience, so far.
At a resort for the weekend with some people I met and work with from Kentucky. Rainforest and canopy walk in a half hour followed by a monkey sanctuary.
Also, I finally met people with common interests and good conversations last night....

salamingahello:
Yesterday I headed out for another 40 minute run and decided to try some more speed intervals. I wanted to change it up from the last time so, I did two pickups in a row follow by two recovery intervals. Here was my plan for the 8 run-intervals:

2 - run at comfortable pace,…
Just made and ate the best fufu and light soup...

After the 30 minute cab ride, we asked the driver to drop us off a few blocks from our hotel (a safety…
