A Good Time at the Coast

I actually got to speak to TR for about half an hour this morning.

They are doing well. They are in Cape Coast now.

Today they made it to one of two of the slave castles and the Kakum National Park. I wanted you to get a feel for Kakum National Park.

Here is a description...
Located in Kakum National Park in the West African country of Ghana, Africa's only canopy walkway is suspended 100 feet above the ground, offering you what is truly a bird's eye view of the rainforest. At this height, you don't have to be an expert to identify the colorful patterns of tropical birds as they glide through the forest below you.

You don't even have to climb to get onto the walkway. It starts at ground level, and as you walk along, the land below you slopes into a valley, and you find yourself twelve stories up in the forest canopy. The horseshoe-like pattern of bridges — made of steel cable, netting, and narrow wooden planks — are connected by tree platforms that serve as observation points for viewing the rainforest. You circle back to complete your tour on level ground.

Here is a video of it. TR and Kman did fine. Kwame was a little scared but made it across the seven bridges.



It was awesome as I was able to hear the boys laughing and playing in the background the entire time TR and I were on the phone. TR says they are getting along well and having a blast!

They all are doing well except TR has a slight stomach ache. That also happened to me and a few days of Imodium helped so he is hoping it is the same for him!

He leaves the Coast in the morning and heads back to Accra. In Accra, He will get to hang out with J and his dad, Jason. He is very excited about getting to see them. They hope to go to the Art Market together and maybe some swimming!

TR and the boys leave to come home in a few days so their trip is winding down.

He is still spending the rest of his donation monies and has given most if not all of his supplies away. As it turned out, he did not get to make all the trips he planned and get all the things he wanted to get done but we are super happy with what he has accomplished there. Most of all, the boys are all getting to know each other and are enjoying themselves.

TR described Kwame as curious, inquisitive, talkative, adventurous and respectful. He is eating and sleeping well and when TR has to correct him on something, he is doing well with it. I was concerned he might get really upset to be corrected and might be really sensitive to it but TR says he is doing really well so far. We are so blessed! I can't wait to get them all home as the girls and I are so excited to meet him! Thankfully only a few more days in which I have tons to do!!!
