Tuesday, August 23, 2011. One last post from Ghana. The last two weeks have been a mix of relaxation, pure delicious adventure, goodbyes, and surprises. This is my kind of tourism.

To all my friends in Ghana reading, thank you for teaching, listening, and welcoming me into this place that is beautiful and unique in so many ways. And to my friends everywhere else, keep smiling!

What a Wonderful World: July 2011
http://carolinecrocker.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. I just can't stay in one place! This summer is flying by… Midsummer retreat is over already! Playing football with the fam. On Saturday we got up early to beat the crowd at Kakum National Park and do the canopy walk! Canopy walk at Kakum. I enjoyed chatting to the artists who were genuine and not forceful in their sales. A chatty artist who makes dish ware out of coconut shells, making a coffee jug. Until next time,. Monday, July 11, 2011. We whip our hair! How will I ever choose?

Another Cooperant in Botswana has a blog called, “All Who Wander Are Not Lost,” and I think this is a perfect description of my adventures in Ghana thus far. I will find it very hard to leave in two months. More business names: Jesus Never Fails Fashion, To God Be the Glory Cosmetics, and God Knows Best Canopies. Is also Ghana Republic Day, a National Holiday, and thousands of people flee to the falls for a celebration on July 1. It’s rain...

What a Wonderful World: Kumasi
http://carolinecrocker.blogspot.com/2011/08/kumasi.html
Thursday, August 4, 2011. The Wikipedia article says it has 10,000 stalls. The smell of the raw ginger mixed with the nearby vegetables is amazing. Sara and I spent an hour or more dodging in and out of fabric stalls, comparing colour and patterns and talking about design ideas. I fell in love with the many kente cloths, a traditional African cloth, and purchased a few to bring to my seamstress. The artist with my painting. In all, it was a shopaholically refreshing weekend. 8220;We live in a wonderful w...

It has been a week since we got back from Tamale, but I feel like there's a lot that I never got around to writing about. T. The Easy Business Centres were filled with bright colours and familiar technology, and we were greeted with warm smiles and enthusiastic Ghanaian hospitality. I’m sure that I will add a f...

Five students from Queen's Project on International Development go to Accra and Takoradi to intern with local NGOs. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Century.
