When kids don't have playstations, G.I. Joe's, or whatever's the hip toy . . . they make stuff up: like this soccer ball made of scraps of cloth and this decorative headband made of an empty medicine strip and a plastic string.
So we were in Ghana at a decent hotel and this is what we found on the menu. I was delighted and proud. Of course I ordered it. It was good but not quite like the Colonel's. 46,000 Cedis might sound a little steep, but that's about $5.
So this is not such a strange sight any more. It seems every time I go to the Nazinga game park (3 or 4 times now I'd guess) we get charged by an elephant. Yeah it was pretty close and gave us a good trumpet sound.
A tree growing up/out of/inside a wall. The wall happens to be part of an ancient fortress near Loropeni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loropeni)- one of Burkina's little tourist sites. Nobody know when the fortress was built.
