...we celebrated Christmas near the border of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, after trecking, or more accurately, covering hundreds of kilometres by bus during the past week.
(Forgot to mention on the blog we were heading south of Burkina for our 2 weeks' leave).
We ventured out in the extreme humidity (still hot season in Ghana) to find a local church on Christmas Day, but it was being painted. We haven't seen any Christmas trees or decorations anywhere, and the coastal villagers are going about their usual business of fishing and drying their catch.
At first we thought it didn't 'feel' like Christmas. But, then again, perhaps it is very much like the first Christmas.
God bless, Jon & Cathlin
