Some recent pics

Last week I traveled to the north of Ghana with my friend Greg Titman. The trip was long and arduous but we finally made it to Mole (pronounced "mo-leh") National Park. Unfortunately it is elephant mating season and the herd was deep in the forest but we were treated with encounters with many other species of wildlife, as evidenced by this photo.





Because of our lengthy journey to the north (two full days of traveling when it should have been one) Greg and I were forced to spend quite a bit of time at a restaurant in Tamale called Crest. Tamale is the primary crossroads in the north and the largest city in northern Ghana I believe. It is predominately Muslim with a large mosque that you can see in the background of this picture.





This is a picture of me and my good friend Philip Achineke. Philip and I and two other friends attended another Black Stars match, this time against Tunisia (game was a draw, 0-0). The match took place at the main stadium in Accra and was much better organized than our first football experience that took place in Sekondi against Lesotho.
