Different parts….same city
Last night we had the good fortune to attend a
fundraiser/fellowship event put on by the Rotary Club of Accra in District
9100. They had a Cheese and Wine Jazz
Night, attended by some 200 plus Rotarians (and future Rotarians…?) under a
beautiful moonlit sky. We both enjoyed
some of the typical Rotary traditions (singing, greeting old friends) and were
introduced to some new ones (local slang and a Chinese auction). It was a lovely event and had great coverage
by the local media due to a myriad of sponsors that were supporting the work of
this Rotary Club. And, it was hosted at
the home of one of their Rotarians, who, as luck would have it, hails from the
same area of Minnesota as us! What are
the chances!?!?!?

Some more goodies
coming home with us |
Today we headed out to Kokrobite Beach (recommended to us by
a local at the party last night) to sit
back and enjoy the sun, sand, and the ocean.
The drive out was once again very interesting, with a lively discussion
with our driver about who should maintain roads and how we think our respective
governments are doing with this (as we bumped, bounced, and veered left and
right…great AB workout!). Then, around
the corner and we saw nothing but white sand, waves, and fishing boats as far
as the eye could see. Amazing how
quickly you can be out of the frenzy of the city and enjoying a Club beer in
total relaxation!
Tonight we’re hunkered down in the room prepping for our
last day with Street Girls Aid staff tomorrow, heading to a Rotary meeting, off
to pick up our new African wear from the seamstress, last errands and then to
the airport! We’ll post another update
as time lets us. In the meantime, wish
us safe travels!
