everyone loves pictures

okay, so here in ghana everyone carries things on their head. and when i was leaving on my field trip, my little brother carried my bag to the bus. its actually really great. they can carry an amazing amount of weight on their head. like when i had to move into my new place these two girls carried my suitcase on their head! one of my suitcase must've weighted at least 70 pounds. and we walked for about a good 15 minutes to get to where the buses were. and guess how much they got paid for all that work? 1 cedi. i told my brother to teach me, so i tried to carry a empty water bucket on my head and it stayed up for about three steps and then fell. i'm going to work on it though, and when i get back i will have strong neck muscles.



here is a picture of boti falls. i tried my best to get a good picture of it, one that captured the two falls together but my camera was getting misted from the falls and i was a little distracted... i really wanted to get into the water. sorry, next time i will make sure i have my priorities in order.













here is just some random store sign. i thought it was funny and wanted to share. most of the store names here have something to do with god. like mama lucy clap for jesus. god saves us all. i'm drawing a blank... but you get the idea.









here is a group of us in front of the waterfall, the picture doesn't quite do the place justice... but there was so much mist from the falls that it was hard to get a good picture. i was pretty scared that my camera would not work after leaving there because it was so wet. the tall man in the back will be living in the community next to mines. he is extending for another year and speaks twi fluently. pretty amazing.

okay, i'm tired... so to be continued.
xoxo.
