Brooke Evans: the West African Breezes
http://usufriendsbrooke.blogspot.com/2010/03/west-african-breezes.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. The West African Breezes. Time goes by so quickly, but as the same time soo slowly. The days, weeks and months roll by at a running pace but the minutes and moments of each day stroll along, taking their time, making sure not to rush (for it is far too hot here in Ghana to rush anywhere). Studies at school right? Here is the link of my latest photo updates. Http:/ www.facebook.com/photo.php? And here are all of my pictures before coming to Ghana. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Ahhh the Volta Region. I must apologize for my lack of blogging skills, and also for the lack of internet in Ghana.

It is nice though to have things slow down a little bit. Me on top of the mountain.very sweaty). We then moved on to Hohoe where we stayed with a very kind reverend and his family and headed off to climb mountains and se...

Monday, July 6, 2009. Mes voyages (my voyages :D hehe). The view from our crazy mountain hostel. Yay I love sunflowers! I took this out of the train window so it didn't turn out so well.

http://usufriendsbrooke.blogspot.com/2010/08/honeyyy-im-home-friday-13th-ooo-la-la.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. As I said before, when every entry of a person's blog starts with "sorry it's been 2 months, but here's the latest." isn't the best blogger.).
