i miss the rain down in africa

it rained quite a bit when we were in africa. we got in on some great weather. from what i hear, the heat can be suffocating, but when we where there, it was quite pleasant. here are a few pictures from our adventures in ghana. more to come.

batik workshop - we used wax, dye and boiling water to print cloth. when i say "we", i mean our friends at the batik shop. they did most of the work, but let us feel like we were contributing.

the slave castle - a sobering experience
