Day 8: It's All GOOD!

June 30^th: Our anniversary, hard to believe it’s been 29 years. I started the day by starting my antibiotic :) About 2 – 3 hours later, feeling great! Thank you Lord! Here’s what we did today:

-       Went to the Asanti King’s Palace where many historic items are on display (furniture, king’s thrones, pictures, crystal, gold items, etc that were used).

-       Went to an artist’s market where I finally found a couple of paintings to purchase for a REALLY reasonable price! J No Kpanlogo yet though, I will try again to get this at the market in Accra. We leave for our final stint in Accra in the morning.

I still have not been able to get on the Internet… so much for “wide spread” Internet in Ghana. Tomorrow, I should be able to post in Accra. Actually, everyplace, including here, boasts that they have Internet but it always seems to be down.  Lol oh well, we’re in Africa!

A couple more things: We're staying in a room with two single beds... Travelers sickness made a come back for both of us. It is worse for Jeff, I'm doing pretty good. So, we spent our anniversary eve going to bed early... Jeff in his bed looking at me going, uuuuuggggggghhhhhhhh lol. :)

This termite mound is not very tall, but really wide! The termites here build castles!

A glimpse of the market, once again, you can't imagine how crowded and noisy this area is. One guy looked at me and said, "Why are you here?" We are the foreigners here. Welcomed by most... but many are not sure about us.

My new Ghanaian artist friend in his studio!  I will never complain about the size of my studio again :)

We weren't allowed to take pics inside the Asante Kings palace, but these peacocks were roaming the grounds... lol
