Chronicles the crazy idea that it might be a good idea for me to run a marathon. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Two for the road. So, Heisick made it out AGAIN this morning! Trust me, not having someone there does not stop me from talking! I know some people in the neighborhood avoid direct contact with me for this reason. I am the crazy lady that lives on their block! The kids all cross the street rather than passing in front of our house. Okay, that is a bit extreme.but I do get funny looks.ALOT! So, the Mi...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: August 2005

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Tuesday, August 30, 2005. I've got a new nick name. Yup, it's "African Woman." When I first arrived in Accra, I'd see old white ladies on the street in traditional Ghanaian garb and I'd secretly laugh to myself that they probably came here when they were my age and got stuck. I'd look at them with a critical eye, thinking that Ghanaians probably thought they were a bit presumptious to be galavanting around in their culture's wardrobe. She also has a sewing machine set up in the court...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: December 2005

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Thursday, December 22, 2005. I've taken up tennis again. Not that I really left it anywhere, except in Toronto winters. You'd think after years of tennis camp with obnoxious eight year old blonde girls named Holly and other girls with names one should only call Christmas ornaments, I'd be quite good. But I'm average. Seems that sporadic playing does nothing for one's game. At least, not mine. It's Al Fresco. They have a pool and two tennis courts and a hand ball wall. I remove the lo...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: November 2005

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Four nights at the Black Star Hotel. Hopped on a tro tro last Thursday night. And boy oh boy it was quite the sight. Sat beside some chickens. That bawked the entire flight. Arrived in Bolgatanga at 9. This next part won't rhyme. Got off the tro and into a taxi. Told the man I must go and relax-y. He took me a hotel nearby. Called the Black Star and why? A black star sits in the flag of Ghana. To represent the peeps whose plant is the banana. Which looke...
