and more...


these are from a former Danish (?) slave plantation we visited in the Ga district a few weeks back. we were each obliged by the locals to buy 1 expensive postcard.


blogger uploaded these out of order! this is from our visit to the pool in the shangri-la hotel (which was quite westerner-oriented and ostentatiously outfitted) on the weekend before ou classes began. of course, the one day we went it was cloudy, cool weather.


these are the chief and right-hand elder of the village performing the libation ceremony before we were allowed to go up and see the plantation. libation is a ceremony which involves the pouring of schnapps as a outward sign of prayer to the ancestors.
