Hey everyone!

Today we went to the Ghana National Museum. It was very, very interesting. It was a class assignment for my Ghana History course. We were to visit the museum and we will have an exam on the 28th on it. I am not sure what "exam" means and as usual in panic mode. LOL
In the states "exam" means an eighteen page paper. :-(((( Hey...hope that is not the case here!

Anyway..it was great and I will edit the pictures and get them to you shortly, at least by next weekend...hey...just kidding. Can't you take a joke, mon???? LOL

The water pressure today was awesome! I think some of my skin went down the shower drain. Hahahaha!

I got a chance to do laundry yesterday and not have to pour buckets of water through the soap dispenser. Ever try to do that and not spill half of it on the floor? IMPOSSIBLE!!!  So I created more laundry: the towels, etc, to wash, still without adequate water pressure.

Now to be fair, let's not just beat up on Ghana: the challenge in Jamaica is current, or electricity, as we say in the US. At any given time GPS, the company supplying Jamaica's electrical power, may decide they want to shut down a particular "grid", for whatever and for whatever amount of time. Your frig is not working and you may have just spent a thousand US dollars stocking up on all those "foreign" meats you just had to have from Arosa, the place to get "stuck up" for foreign meat products. So what if they spoil? You should not have been so dumb as to buy them in the first place. What's wrong with buying the local meat? What you see along the road as you travel to town? So what if it is 89 degrees and you are going through menopause and having hot flashes? You just have to make the necessary adjustment.: run to the sea, real, real, fast. LOL

But let's be fair and not leave out Tanglewood Road, US. When we are without electricity on Tanglewood Road in the good old U S of A, we do not have access to water because we get our water from a well. We had the opportunity to connect to the county water system and decided not to. The cost did figure into it; but the taste of well water was really (and I do mean really) the deciding factor. I am not one who really likes water anyway; but our water is delicious! I do not drink tap water anywhere we travel.

OOOppppssss....let me get back to the issue at hand: water pressure. So, it was good yesterday and I was able to get the laundry done for Nana (the housekeeper) to hang out and when it was time to shower it was so forceful I had to check to make sure I still had skin on my butt! LOL

Okkk... I will close now and take a nap and get those pictures edited for you.

Sam is at Matrix Pub playing pool. He told me he had only 20cedis ($13US) and he had to make some money tonight. Uh, oh! I hope he comes home by tomorrow afternoon!

BTW...cedis has a historical connotation and I will tell you about it later. I found that out at the museum today. Keep in mind that all things are historical. That from a historian. :-)

Also a two million year old female fossil was found in south Africa and this may change the theory of evolution. Here is just one of the link with information about her check out Google for more of them: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/04/16/meet-your-great-grandma.html Just think: I, a historian, am in the continent this is found!! Astonishing!! God is so good!

One love!

Love y'all
