Let us tell you how we wake up every morning. First comes the one rooster that starts early, way before any other rooster (and of course, he's on our patio and is the worst sounding rooster around). But then at sunrise, he starts again. Then all the other roosters across the valley crow with him. Next comes the women next door getting out their cooking supplies making breakfast, bucketing up water from the well. Afterward they sweep with their straw brooms. In between we can hear the baby chicks calling their hunger to the momma and the birds singing in the air. Not long after that comes the Muslim prayer resounding across the valley as well. All this prior to the porridge and bread ladies (see below). A day in Ghana starts early but beautifully!

Are you guys loving the simpler lifestyle there? Hearing the roosters crow, fresh warm bread in the morning... I wonder if Deann got her coffee? We love the pictures... When are you gonna be by the public market? We wanna see those pictures too...
ReplyDeleteWe are so enjoying the simpler life! Believe it or not, I brought coffee and there is plenty here, but I haven't had any. I took the opportunity with the time change to go off it. We go to the markets daily, but next week we are going to Macala Market while taking the guys back to Accra. But we'll post some pictures of what we've seen so far.
