| Arrival of a group of Senior Missionaries on a Saturday visit to a small town that has an arts and crafts venue. It had 20 to 30 different craftsmen, including mostly woodcarvers. |
 |
| In front of an artist's front with the carver's sons. |
 |
| A young upstart wood carver who asked me to take his pic. |
 |
| A young carver who is a member of our church and carves to his audience. Here, he proudly displays his rendition of the Ghana Temple. This item sells well to a bunch of Sr. missionaries!! |
 |
| Samuel tried his best to sell this fold up table to me. It displays 4 important symbols of the Ghanians. From top left clockwise: (beginning with circle with solid arrow pointer) 1. Symbol of justice. Knife used in executions. It is plunged through the throat of the victim to prevent him from invoking a curse on the king. 2. Symbol of commitment. It means I shall marry you. The 4 clocks say that no one rushes into the mixing the concrete for building the house of marriage. 3. The heart is a symbol of patience and tolerance. 4. Symbol of the supremacy of God. We see this symbol everywhere from buses to billboards. It is seen as reflecting the deeply religious character of the Ghanaian people. |

| African xylophone with a very cute demonstrator! We resisted the sales pitch so far! |
 |
| These two signs hung in the local restaurant where our group had a great local lunch. I couldn't resist! |
 |
| Read closely you parents of teens and pass it on! |
 |
| We stopped at a local botanical garden area and we got photo bombed! |
 |
| Huge hollow tree. |
 |
| Looking up from middle of tree. |
 |
| These palm trees reminded us of royal palms in Florida. |
