150 Days in Ghana

Sue and I will be in Kumasi, Ghana from December 28th to June 1st, living on the campus of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). We have been busy learning the local language, Asante Twi (pronounced, "chree") with a very amicable Ghanaian named Kofi Agbodzie.

One of the names Ghanaians use refers to the day of the week they were born. Sue's Ashanti name is Akua (eh - que [as in "queen"] - ah), and meye (I am) Akwabena (accent on the "kwa") but freme (call me) Bobo (I'll use that name with the kids).

I created a gallery at a Kodak site that has a number of photos from our 2004 trip to Ghana. If you would like to see the images, and there are some great ones, please click on the link below
