QUIPS & QUOTES

"Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity."
"A person wrapped up in themselves makes a very small package."

"It is better to be silent and be thought a fool,
than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

"God gave us two ears and only one mouth for a reason."

Our Trip to Ghana

We left Durango on February 15th



....and arrived in Accra.....21 hours later

Passing the Presidential Office



Arriving at the Hotel Movenpick Ambassador. Emily trying to get Holly to smile for the camera.





We had dinner in the hotel with our niece's daughter, Brittany Nielsen and her friend, Marielle, who are doing a semester abroad. What a crazy coincidence that we are in the same place at the same time! They gave us useful information on living in Ghana.



We found this ultra tiny pineapple in our hotel room worth a photo.



On Saturday morning, we left Accra and traveled to Cape Coast and met William and Charlotte Acquah for the first time. What a WONDERFUL family! More about them in later postings.
Their large, old house is situated on top of a hill near the ocean. There are several apartments inside and we occupy one of them.



Here are some photos of the inside:







We took a stroll and saw some of Cape Coast.













This is my favorite sight in Ghana so far! All the moms use these baby slings and apparently, the kids LOVE them! So far, every baby we have seen in a sling has been zonked! So cute....
