January 19, Ada Foah, Ghana
This word picture was written by the two of us while enjoying cold beer!
Jim: In Africa, thank god for cold beer.
I'm married to an artist.
One is important to survive the other.
Joy: The adobe huts are brown and dusty.
People mend nets, bath and cook.
I smile, say hello and soak it all in.
Jim: My mother never made it to Africa.
My father never made it to Africa.
My mother and father never drank cold beer.
Joy: Jim: Don't wreck that map.
Why are you carrying your pack?
What are you putting on sun screen for!
Joy: I am sorry.
Jim: Walking on the dirt road by fishing huts,
Wobbly legs, heat stroke coming.
"All inclusive". - cold beer
Joy: A buzzard circles overhead.
We are old enough to be fodder
Yet we savour the miracle of here.
Jim: Kelsey, Danica and Yolande like cold beer.
Jeffrey, Alex and Bryan like cold beer.
Would any of them like Africa?
Joy: "Tempt not your god fashions"
"Wait upon The Lord beauty salon"
"Annointed Peace and love; fish and fashion"
Is death the only way to an easier life?
Jim: Obruni in Ghana,
Black man in Canada.
Both like old beer.
Joy: The setting is safe and shady.
There is more cold beer.
We are sucking up courage to return to heat stroke.
Jim: Is the black man from Canada
An Obruni
When he drinks cold beer in Ghana?
