well I found a computer spot just out of town that has a fast(er) internet connection, so I thought I'd try to upload some photos well I can. This one is Accra, and a line of tro-tros next to market vendors. 
This one is from my first day arriving in Swedru, when we went to a small village outside of town to watch a ceremony that I didn't understand at all! Once I pulled out the camera, kids started gathering, and I had a hoard around me in no time!
"You're camera is beautiful, give it to me". That was the second thing the kids sitting beside me said to me, following a pause after "where are you from?" I'm getting used to that around here.
Went to Cape Coast this weekend, lots of history but a busy city. Cape Coast Castle was one of several forts housing slaves before they were shipped overseas. We joined a tour through the fort, hard to imagine..
Highlights, hmm... saw a crocodile! Beside a restaurant, thought about wrestling it but when I saw how fast another one jumped I changed my mind. Walking back to our guesthouse around 7:00 pm a man came up and said "sir, please, get inside, it's night" It was more friendly advice then a warning, but made me think, especially since we were in a group! Taking some traditional drumming lessons, that's fun.
I'll try to post some more pictures later, as it's slowing down now...
