Even bloggers get the blues

Forgive me friends, for I bloggeth not last week and it is equally possible that I bloggeth not in the coming weeks. I guess part of it is that sure, it's Ghana and that certainly adds a certain flavor to my routine, but it remains a routine nonetheless. Some have said that routines can cause major writer's block for the novice blogger, and though I'd like to believe that this isn't true, I do however feel it appropriate to accord myself the occasional week of scriptural laziness here and there.

But above all, the main excuse to these shorter and scarcer entries...my sister, of course (it's always much easier to blame things on others, no?). She arrived on Sunday evening, tired but in one piece. After a few days visiting Accra and allowing Eve to get accustomed to the Ghanaian heat...comparable to being in a pizza oven at times, we are now ready to embark on the exciting Wertheimer sister adventures. We leave later this afternoon, heading West towards Cape Coast and Elmina (with a stopover in Ekumfie for funeral #2 with Tim's family...I hope they don't make us dance in front of the whole village again). Then, it's Kumasi, followed by a few days in Mole Park, with a hotel terrasse overlooking a watering hole where one can see antilopes, boars and yes, you guessed it ELEPHANTS! (How cool is that...) We should be coming back to Accra around the 14th of February, just in time for Valentine's day and most importantly National Chocolate Day (which for those of you who know Eve and her love of all things cocoa, is probably one of the happiest days on earth.)

I will try my best to post an entry or two during our travels, assuming that this little adventure will go far by way of curing my blogger's block (aka laziness). In the meantime, I send you much love from sunny Ghana and wish you all the very best.

Gros bisous mes cheris xxx
