After driving six hours north to drop the new Senior Missionary Couples in Techiman and Tamale (Tom a Lay) I was able to be a passenger on the way back. The first time we came this far north it was at the end of summer in September, and very dry and brown. I was so fascinated by the fresh green grass and new growth that I took many pictures of the scenery.
I won't label many of these pictures so just enjoy the beautiful African country side (zoom in on some of them to see more detail).

| We saw many villages of mud huts covered with straw or grass roofs. |
 |
| Zoom in and see the people washing cloths and drying them on the rocks, and another group just swimming and playing in the water of the Volta. |
 |
| The views go on for miles and miles! |
 |
| Zoom in on the "brush" fence they put up to house goats and cattle at night. |
 |
| Two more brush fences. |
 |
| A tall termite hill. Maybe 12-15 feet high. |
 |
| Down toward Techiman it gets more hilly and jungle looking. |
 |
| You can see a long way out there from some of the hills we drove over. |
We saw many mud huts in the Middle East but the roofs are timber and more mud. No grass to make thatched roof from, and no vegation either, except up on the Caspian Sea where it is almost tropical (a lot of moisture and rain). Certainly enjoy your and Martie's Blog Pages.
ReplyDeleteWow! Quite the country side. So different from what we have here. Dave Halladay
