We finished our build on Friday, dedicated two houses with their new owners, and celebrated with the villagers until the only source of light in the village was the small incandescent bulb used by the DJ. The chief of Kyekyewere was present for the dedication, in full costume, (pictures tomorrow...if possible), flanked by the elders of the village, and covered at all times by a large ornate umbrella.

It was difficult to say goodbye to everyone. You'd be surprised how quickly you become attached to people in such a short period of time, most especially the children.

We are currently enjoying some much deserved rest in Cape Coast, a coastal resort along ocean. We spent today visiting the slave castles and then enjoying the beach, including a lunch that was by far the best meal we have had. The slave castles are an enlightening and humbling experience and, at times, a bit frightening. We descended into the dark dank dungeons in which thousands of slaves were kept before they were sent on ships across the Atlantic.

Nearby, dozens of boats were returning from the sea as hundreds of fishermen unloaded their catch for sale in the market. It was an unimaginable sight and one that can only be experienced to be understood.

Tomorrow, we are headed to a canopy walk north of Cape Coast and a visit to a local university. More to come.
