One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to a few places and have seen a lot of amazing things but my most memorable experience is Ghana.

Is it possible that there could be a friendler, more welcoming country? It is a culture full of so much life. No matter where you go, there is music and laughter. It is impossible to be unhappy while you're there.

Some of the highlights of my time spent there:
Number one of course, is all of the 17 children I got to know and love.
The rest includes, monkey sanctuaries, waterfalls, tro-tro rides, stilt villages, canopy walks, castles, elephants, nile crocodiles (and sitting on them!), witch villages, art, kente weaving, mirinda (we don't have this in the US), music.
