A great example of the joy I was talking about in my last blog entry (if you read that ramble) was my last Sunday. Danny (my baseball coach) invited some people to go to the village some of his family is from for the year celebration of his Auntie’s funeral. Although it only takes about 30 minutes without traffic to get to Aburi (a-bree), it feels like a completely different world. Aburi is pretty much on top of a mountain, at least 10 degrees cooler than Accra, with very few mosquitoes, and a beautiful botanical garden. We ate, drank, and danced with Danny and his family in celebration of this woman’s life and the fact she was in Heaven. Asante people wear beautiful white fabric to these celebrations, and everyone was really welcoming. Again, it was really nice to get away from Accra, and talk to Ghanaians not from the city.
