Tamale/Accra

Greetings again... (Irene here)
Today I am sitting in an Internet Cafe in Accra, spending 10,000 CEDIs (about $1) an hour for this time. Check out the photos I've added to previously published posts!

We left Tamale on Monday afternoon and feel satisfied with our experience there. We met the people we wanted to... we ate at the restaraunts we missed and we saw the things that have changed and those that have not.....I will conclude our reporting on Tamale with pictures:











Relaxing at Mensahs' place.....................visiting with Chris and his family...12 years ago I attended this child's Baby naming ceremony and held the baby...he is Adam and is now 12 years old! (I was wearing the same dress I have on in the picture!)















Laurenda International School, the school the girls went to...They now have approx 30 students, 3 of which are from expatriot families. The woman in charge for now is from Holland.....Irene in the market ....

















Having pizza at TICCS (our old cook Victoria works here now and on the menu they offer Sloppy Joes (hey that's my recipe!!)...Enjoying Spring Rolls at the Las Hotel...they are still the best Spring rolls we have ever eaten!!















These images are from our old "home" on the GAP compound. The compound is no longer owned by Canadians...it's been turned over to Ghanians...the pool is no longer functioning, needs a new liner and no one wants to pay for it....tennis anyone???

That's it for now!

Hey Mom & Dad
Nice Ghana pics!! You have some very nice shots in there, I especially like that one of the guy throwing the fishing net into the water...looks like it could belong in a brochure or something! It's almost sad to look at pics of our old house and the compound though, it's not at all like I remember. Dad you look sad standing in the old tennis court too! Oh well, I guess things change. Looks like you had an awesome time in Tamale and that's so cool about the Sloppy Joes at TICCs! Enjoy the rest of your stay in Accra!
