Accra, Ghana
I traveled all day today... from New York to Heathrow and on to Ghana after a 2 hour lay over there. I arrived early around 8:45pm. Sr. Pat Frost and Sr. Peg of the SSND community here in Accra welcomed me and I am here at their home for a few days. We spent a few minutes catching up before I was shown to "the boys quarters" in the rear - a lovely 2 bed room guest unit. As I approached Accra from the air, moments before landing, my thoughts came to the holy reunion I would have with this part of Africa. I readied myself to enjoy these days of re introduction, listening and learning. The plane finally taxied to a stop, we exited and the warm and humid embrace of West Africa enveloped me.
