the AMAZING race, Coconut Grove Beach Resort, Kofikyere Village

The last week has been VERY busy and full of memories :) Sorry for the late post (once again blogging is not my thing but I'm trying)

Group pic before the Amazing Race around Accra.. 

Money to use for the race.. 

Yes these are SNAILS we had to eat :( They were HUGE and there were antennas and all still attached. 

We had to eat 8-9 between 3 of us in a group. I'm still gagging thinking about it 

I haven't included all of the details and pics of what all we had to do. But the winning team was ....

Team L-T-L :) Had fun girls!

Staci and I at the Canopy walk. There was a total of seven. 

Once at Coconut Grove Beach Resort we had a weekend of R&R which was much needed!

Some of the girls took horse-back rides along the beach. Hi Joy!

We stayed in the "African Village". Staci and I shared a hut with
a couple of geckos! At the end of the weekend they were our friends
because they ate the mosquitos. 

I've got hops. 

We stopped by a crocodile farm on the way. It's really alive! But luckily sleepy 

El Mina Salve Castle is the oldest and largest slave castle in sub-saharan Africa.

Was very sombering while taking a tour. 

We spent 3 days in the last village of Kofikyere. My favorite village with the nicest of people. 

To be honest, I will not miss the long and draining van rides.

We stopped at Asumakasee (Im sure that's not spelled right)  radio station which is one of
Theovision's and took a tour. Staci and Annie were our spokes girls and did an interview
live on the radio. They did a great job :)

One of my goals: to learn how to carry a child on  my back.  Did not feel secure, I think I like the way
we do it on our hips!

Staci with a child I'm sure she wanted to bring home

The glow-in-the-dark bracelets were a hit Sis! However they started a mini-riot 

with the older kids knocking young ones over to get one.
