Some Photo Updates

Sorry that it has been so long since I've gotten some photo updates up here. Here is a summary of the last couple weeks. Its a little all over the place! Bear with me.


I visited the beach near Accra a couple weekends ago. That was a great and relaxing time (well, for the most part).

In a moment of weakness I broke down and bought two totally indulgent breakfast cereals (i.e. chocolate and sugar mixed with some amount of wheat...) and some boxed milk

I have become addicted to the bofrut sold on the street. They cost about 35 cents each and are basically deepfried bread dough with some sugar (a not too sweet doughnut!) Here are two varieties. The one on the right is fabulous -- just plain soft sweet deep fried dough... the other one is denser, a little sweeter and has a hint of some nice spices, but its a little too intense for my tastes (I was always one for a chocolate dip over, say, a crueller (sp?). I like simplicity in my deep fried breads :)

This poor monkey is my new neighbour. He literally lives on the wall across from my house. His owners have him chained there 24/7 and the kids like to play with/tease him all day.

A lot of people were around when I wanted to take this picture so I shot it quickly on the fly... unfortunately that resulted in a very blurred image. I took this picture for Tina, I wanted to show her the way the levels on this building were being supported during construction. There are basically several pieces of what look like a reed plant of some sort holding the upper level up from the one below. If its still up when you come to visit, Tina, I will show you! :)
