From Gene in Ghana: Ghana 4 Nigeria 1
Posted by Gene Creelman on February 7th, 2007
Last night on the state tv station, the soccer game from London was televised. This was a highly nticipated match as Nigeria hass for many year been the strongest and highest FIFA ranked team. Ghana had not beatem them in over 15 years. Last night that changed.
WE could hear the people from town singing and chanting in the street from our tv room at the guesthouse. It was cool to ee them celebrate.
WE visited with a beadmaker yesterday….she was 76 and made jewellry by hand from a special rock; there is no English name. She has been doing it all her life and it looked difficult and dirty. See Flickr for her picture.
I have recovered, but Barry is under the weather today. Hope he is able to recover by 5 – we have a meeting and presentation to make to the board on our observations and recommednations.
The people are so hospitable….they won’t even let us buy a beer, yer we are the ones with the means…..
