Ho, Dam, Seminary, Pool



Greetings! We're still here and kicking (well most of us that is, . . . more on that later). On Monday, we said farewell to Ho and then headed out into the land of little-to-no internet access. Since that, sooooooooooo much has happened.
Upon leaving Ho, we travelled to Accra by way of the Volta Dam. We then lunched at the restaurant run by the wife of the president of Trinity Seminary before heading to the seminary itself, where we met with the renowned Mercy Oduyoye. Following our meeting with Mercy, we then set off for Ricky Nelson's hotel. It was bliss. I don't think any of us didn't indulge in either/both the swimming pool or/and the hot showers.
Next, it was off to dinner. Seth, being true to form, suddenly materialized on the roadside next to a pile of burning tires and led us to Paloma. It was nice to indulge in a bit of Western food for the evening. However, the people watching was a wee bit disturbing. As one of our group pointed out, it wasn't until we left Ho that we saw anyone practicing the world's oldest profession.

The first photo is of the Volta Dam. The second is of Diane presenting a signed copy of Deb Krause's book on I Timothy to Mercy Oduyoye--and yes, that's Bridget in the foreground.
