Waterfalls near Koforidua

I need to make a bamboo tripod

A few minutes in Koforidua

Hey all! In transit I found a chance to use an internest cafe... I don't have any pictures with me but I will post some next time.

We just took a trip to some waterfalls here in the Eastern Region -it was pretty much the quintessential tropical waterfall experience (well almost- the water isn't safe to touch). I know some of you are wondering how I'm doin ---- all I can really say is..... I'm in an African Rainforest, surrounded by beautiful, genuinely good-natured people, and there are lizards everywhere....

I'm currently training in the kukurantumi area which is a few hours north of Accra. Its in the 'mountains' -so its forested - well it used to be, but there are still patches here and there that I like to hiuke around through, and alot of the really big trees are left standing (some must be close to 175 ft).

My health... I've had a gut-twisting battle with one of Africa's bugs so far... but honestly it was really good it happened because now being sick here just isn't as scarry. I'm suprised by how comfortable I am here.

Thanks for all the support back home -
Love... from Africa

Quick Update

I'm in Accra for a few minutes while in transit from the south eastern tip in the Volta region (where we had our amazing 'vision quest') to Kukuramtumi where most of training will continue. Its been a week but it feels like a year. Soooooo Happy.
