The New Ride...

When we first arrived in Ghana six weeks ago we were planning on using taxi or tro tro to get around. Tony didn't think he would be comfortable driving after such a long absence.
We found that Grandma had fixed up her old car for us to use so we gave it a try. We are thankful for the use of the old red car...it has allowed us to travel all over Ghana...the lack of air conditioning has allowed us to feel the heat and the smell the smells of the road...we are thankful...

But today we are saying a big Thankyou to Tony's sister Margaret and her husband. They will be arriving in Ghana on Friday and have shipped a Honda Pilot for them to use while they are here.
It recently arrived and they have been gracious enough to let us use it for our last few days. So, these last two days we will drive around feeling like royalty in our own private little bubble.
We took a quick ride around the block and it was so exciting. The tinted windows block the hot sun and the loud street noise...when we arrived back the outside air felt like a sauna.
There are benefits to both the old ride and new ride and we are thankful for both....
