Some of you might like a few more details about our move, so below are answers to the top ten things we've been asked:
- We are all going - Dave, me, Joshua (3 1/2 yrs old), and our 2 dogs.
- We are not selling our house. My folks want to use it as a second home because it is close to my brother and all of the Denver fun.
- We will live in a small expat community about 10 miles outside of the small village of Bogoso.
- Ghana is an English speaking country. There are many other prevalent languages, Twi being the main one.
- The weather is hot and hotter. Bogoso is in the middle of a rain Forrest so while the temps always range around 88, the rains come most everyday.
- The country is on GMT (or Ghana Maybe Time) and puts the time change 6 - 7 hours ahead of Colorado depending on daylight savings time.
- Dave has traveled there many times and I went with him once.
- Our favorite thing about Ghana is currently the Ghanaians. As a whole, they are fabulously friendly, welcoming, and easy to be around. We also really enjoy the expats and Dave's coworkers whom we've met in the community.
- The thing I look forward to the least is the traffic getting into and out of Accra and the 6 - 8 hours of off-road trekking to our home.
- Yes, we will miss you all terribly and hope to see everyone during our month-long breaks 2 times a year. We hope our first trip back will be at Christmas.
