We’ve now left Accra. Our host family was incredibly generous and caring for our well-being, along with the local Rotarians in the vicinity of Accra. We’re having a great time. Admittedly the spice of the food will be a gradual morphing for my taste buds but I’m sure it’ll finally transition. I’m happy we’re having a schedule that is somewhat relaxed in the Cape Coast area – some sleep catch-up is definitely in order after the incredibly hectic (and fulfulling) week we’ve had in Accra. Engineering and water treatment is practiced identically to Canadian facilities. We’ve visited the Water Institute, the local Water Authority, and Zoom Lion Waste Management. The Ghanaian people definitely have the expertise at their fingertips in-house; it will be convincing the powers that be to allocate appropriate funding levels to the various programs that will be tricky. (Sound familiar? 
)
We’ve now reached Cape Coast and the scenery along the way has been spectacular. The ocean is a marvel.
I’m looking forward to the next stops on our journey. The Rotary GSE Team in District 9100 has moved mountains for us and have accommodated us as if we’re family while we’re here. This will be the primary legacy of this trip that I will never forget – the endless joy and generosity of the people here.
