So sorry I have not poured my heart out in these blog entries this year. I have not had as much time with a group this size and Anita & I are sharing a computer this year. I promise to reflect more when I return. Until then, we press on.
Day 11 -

was a journey to Logba Tota where we stopped en-route and visited a Monkey sanctuary. We got to feed them bananas. The came across the jungly canopy to our guide's call and took the fruit right from our hands.
Then up to the mountain top (Tota means mountain top) where we were surprised to see a new building the team could use, right next door to where we usually stay.
We gathered for awesome primitive worship to the beat of drums and shakeres. (you all should encourage John Cromer to play Cunga's while Dottie plays a Shakere, for worship one day).

Day 12 -
We awoke to a cloud covered vista and but enjoyed the serenity of the place we love most, as the day slowly dawned.
Some of the team journeyed way down to a water fall, while Anita and I looked around the village at the changes, visited a new nursery and visited some wonderful old friends. (you'll see pics of Anita's buddy Agbenyushia (Agben for short) the boy with down syndrome. he is now 27 and one of the finest young men who helps his elderly parents day in and day out, you'll ever meet.
We scoped out a plot of ground offered to us by the chief for free. We are awaiting a quote on building there, to stay when we visit and ultimately retire and live out the remainder of our golden years there as well. For us, there is no place like Logba Tota on earth that we have ever encountered. Far away from the hustle and bustle of city life or busy roads, with vistas that bring peace to your heart amidst prayers of thanksgiving.
We journeyed back to Tema and stopped en-route at a resort right by the Akosambo bridge that we didn't realize existed, for a short stretch / break. We may use this in the future for teams as a retreat after the long days in the field up in the Volta region.
