Take my picture! Photos on this page by Kerri Mahoney, fellow geek crew member.
I spent a lazy weekend at a backpacker's paradise on Kokrobite beach, called Millie's Back Yard. It is owned and operated by an English woman, Wendy, who keeps her yard filled with charming and simple cabins and reading corners for travellers. The small restaurant has excellent food and picnic tables overlooking the beach, which is filled with fishing boats and lots of joyful kids. I spent Saturday reading on the porch or in the hammock, listening to the African Gray parrot fly from tree to tree, whistling like a sailor.

Kate! Helping me chill out by bringing cold water
to dump over my head.

Crusade—when cleaning is your obsession!

Rasta

The Nothing Late Braiding Shop may do rasta weaves on all types, but I have not yet fallen to temptation. Looks like they do manicures, since there's a hand with red nails. But since the toes seem to be missing from the foot, I suppose pedicures were discontinued.

USA shack

The USA shack.
(Lots of American flags in Ghana. Not just after the September 11, 2001 attacks, either. The US flag is like a Nike logo—fashionable.)
