It has been a long day. We traveled three hours NW from Fetteh to the Kakum National Park where we took the Canopy Tour through the tops of the trees. The rain forest was indeed an example of the wonder of God's creation.
On the other end of the spectrum, we visited the largest and oldest of 80 forts along the Ghanaian coast. They started out as trading posts, but through the years became point of embarkation of slaves to the new world. Here we saw an example of man's cruelty to man. It was a sobering experience.
Tomorrow, we begin our journey home. We are now thinking about our families and friends, and realize how much we miss them. Our day starts with a demonstration by the VOH children of traditional music and dance at 9 AM (5 am EDT). I've seen videos of the practice and it was good. (Last night I got some of the boys drumming with their ice cream cups and spoons, imagine happy boys full of sugar and something to drum). At 10 AM we depart the VOH and go into Accra for lunch, a little shopping and site seeing before dinner and our 10 PM flight. Our schedule gets us into Knoxville about 4 PM Sunday.
We're tired and our cups overflow. We are indeed blessed to be able to demonstrate our thankfulness in this way.
James, Midnight Fri
