Julie’s thought for the day:
“Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world.
For indeed, that’s all who ever have.”
Margaret Mead, 1901-1978, American Cultural Anthropologist

We started at the Rain Forrest and walked the tree top canopies. It was a bit scary, but really cool. The rain forest is so breathtaking. Percy, from the hotel, joined us. He took pictures of Cailin and I on the planks. Percy tried to jump on the planks and make Cailin fall. She thought it was great.
From there we went to the Cape Coast Slave Castle and walked on the beach. Cailin took lots of pictures and got to see her boats. Cailin was so happy to run through the waves. One more item to cross off her “Summer Bucket List”!!
From there we drove to the Shangri La Hotel in Accra and had lunch. It was a great choice by Liz. We got back to our “home” about 4:30 PM. Nice to be out of the van.
Esther stopped by at dinner-back from her cousin’s funeral. She is still not feeling well. She’s had a cold for 3 weeks. Amo has been really sick too. We haven’t seen him since last Thursday morning and we are all very worried about him.
Cailin and I stayed and talked to Kathleen after dinner. She let Cailin use her Internet so she could Facebook a few friends. 2 weeks is a long time to be “out of touch” when you are 16!! Kathleen is a special person with big passion and strong conviction. The villages she touches in Ghana are so fortunate to have her. Ghana is a wonderful country with beautiful people-inside and out.
