Our living space is beautiful. The beach and ocean is literally part of our dining area. There are geckos on the walls and goats that walk themselves around town. Life is so different here. Keisha said it the best. In America we work to make money, in Ghana they work to live. I haven’t heard anything that real in a while.
Food is one thing I looked forward to the entire time leading up to our trip. Lunch consisted of rice and chicken, coleslaw salad, pineapples, and this hot sauce that was like no other. I’m loving it.
A local band gave a performance like no other after dinner. They drummed like it was their last, and danced like it was the meaning of life. Their bandleader inspired me with his last words for the night, “Music is our life, this is what we do. Music is our profession. We eat music, we breathe music, WE ARE MUSIC.” I’m with you on that one brother. I just wished more artists in America had this mindset; the world would be such a different place…
