My First Blog

Hi All,

Come along (and bear) with me as I explore blogging for the first time as well as my first trip to the Motherland, Africa. Personal thanks to my friend Vanessa (a true 'Techno-Babe' in the most respectful sense) for directing me to the how-tos.

Arrrg!!! Let's Try Sunday Again

We had just entered the toll road when about 20 minutes into our trip, as our driver Frank, starts to throw it into 3rd gear a sickly grinding noise could be heard coming from the undercarriage of the bus. He slowly guided the vehicle to the side of the road, hopped out and worked fevershly for about 10 minutes to locate the source of the problem.

The hort story is that our bus was done for and the 6 of us along woth our phenominal guide Mensah were able to hitch a ride with another group.

I'm rushing as usual. Exhausted fro the 5 hour drive today (Monday). Here are some pictures from the cruise from Akosombo Port aboard the Dodi Princess and the Akosombo Continental Hotel which has a wonderful lakeside view, superb artwork through the grounds and quite a menagerie of criitters including the lizards that Valerie loves so much!
