The house keeper for one of my hosts from the Carter Center’s initiative cooked them up for dinner. Delicious!

I laughed out loud at the vision of you and the village chief in your bowing match. What a lovely story about lovely people (proven by your images). What happened to the squirming guinea hens?

That sounds like one cool handshake.
“African Rhythm and African Sensibility,” by John Miller Chernoff, who studied drumming in Ghana, is a splendid book, even if you do have to wade through the musicological jargon. Also, before he became famous for other things, Kirkpatrick Sale wrote a book called “The Land and People of Ghana.” I have a copy but confess I haven’t read it.

What a wonderful introduction you’ve given us to the people of Ghana. It gives real insight as to why that country was chosen by Obama,that I had not gotten from any other media. More than that you have, as you always do, given us reasons to care for them as people and fellow travelers on our planet. Your amazing photos add the intimicy we would have missed otherwise. Thank you so very much for sharing this. By the way, I wonder how many of us will begin today practicing that handshake? And we Americans think
we’re so cool. Naa Billy
