pictures!

three pictures made it up! hopefully more will come today. the first is from the canopy walk at kakum national park, the second from a soccer game that amanda and i went to on sunday. we watched kotokoo (from kumasi) play against another team from the ashanti region. they are playing in the otuomfo cup. otuomfo is the senior chief of the ashanti region and on the 27th of april he, and the rest of the region, will be celebrating his 10th anniversary as chief. we are going to the final match on the 22nd. the third picture is of an okomfoo or priestess; she was possessed by a spirit and telling us our futures.

on monday amanda and i picked up bicycles to make getting around town a bit easier. since then i have learned that the only thing more amusing to a ghanaian child than seeing a white person, is seeing a white person on a bicycle. amanda is now known by several children as the rough rider.

tomorrow two fellow students, toby and alex, will be coming up to kumasi from cape coast. toby and i scored roles in a ghanaian film that we will be shooting tomorrow. our friend kwame is a ghanaian actor and he got us parts in the film. i can't wait to tell you more about it! ghanaian films usually take about four days to produce so hopefully i will be able to bring a copy home.

this weekend toby, alex, amanda, and i are going to lake bosumti. it is a huge crater lake outside of kumasi and we are going to spend the weekend hiking around it!

a picture of a monkey just got up! hopefully i can get a few more on. have a great weekend!
