Yesterday was a real treat, an adventure outside of Accra into a more rural area with the Crosbys. We went to the high school principal's home for lunch and then the five of us went to visit a small shop that makes colorful glass beads in small glass kilns in quite primative kilns. Then we drove out to another area to visit the man who supplies the school with drinking water. Kofy is a remarkable Ghanaian with a real vision for conservation. Fourteen years ago he began his vision to preserve about 30 acres with native plants and develop a santuary/ retreat place that is so serene and beautiful Itotally was amazed. He has survived many legal conflicts and had to endure bribes and threats to work towards his vision, and he knows so much about the trees and plants. With this post I hoped to include some photos; but evidently I only get one photo with each blog entry so today you'll see me and Joyce Crosby at Kofy's sanctuary.
