West Africa

I have made it home safely from a country that I find hard to explain. I have always hear about African time but I didn’t realize how importuned it is. It is to hot to do anything. They don’t understand the concept of moving fast, unless they are in a car that is allowing air flow through it. It is to hot to function at midday. The people, who are very nice and welcoming, sit from the hours of 10-3 this depends on the season. We spent most of our time in my brother’s village meeting people and sweating. Once we where out of the village we spent 4 days on a beach in Ghana. We went to the rain forest where we participated on a canapé walk. The rope brigades where 200 ft. in the air and we relied on the huge jungle trees to hold us up. This was a beautiful site and my first rain forest/jungle that I had ever been to. We also took a tour of a slave castle, which was very hard to take in. After boogie boarding for 4 days straight it was time to go home. I will write more, but I first have to process what I have experienced. Happy New Year.
P.S. The waves where 5-10 ft. high and way fun
