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.

An Emotional Journey to come

I suppose there are two posts on their way to this site, with pictures. I only suppose. Who knows where they are in cyberspace?

Tomorrow will begin an even more emotional part of this wonderful journey.  After breakfast we leave Kumasi for Elmina in the Central Region.  We'll stop at Assin Manso burial site where the remains of two former slaves exhumed for New York's Wall Street District were re- interred on Emancipation Day in 1998 and visit two castles in which enslave Africans were held prior to their transport to the Americas.
So many remnants of colonization still exist here. I pray that the Unity and Change required to have Ghana and other African nations reach their full potential comes in my lifetime.
