We spent the day today taking a trip up to Cape Coast were we spent the morning with the local people on the beach. We played soccer with a group and watched as the elders of that group pulled in the fishing nets. They managed to catch a small shark in their nets and seemed to be very pleased about it. We took a tour of the slave castle which was very interesting, and sad at the same time. We then took a walk in the rainforest or more specifically should I say a walk ABOVE the rainforest. It was a canopy walk they called it and we walked across what you could decribe as a very narrow suspesion bridge 40 meters above the rainforest. I am happy to be able to say I did it and honest enough to say I was shaking so bad I could barely stand after we finished crossing the 8th bridge! Africa is amazig and we have been enjoying the sights and sounds, but we are all looking forward to getting to our Credit Unions where the work will begin. We have a meeting tomorrow morning with the Ghana Credit Union Association and from there will be heading out to Kumasi where we will be stationed and will attend the Credit Unions from there. I will sign off for now good nite from Africa!
