Silver Liningssss


June 27 2009
Yesterday the dance teacher never showed up at the nursery so we went home...
Last night they served pizza at the diner (we've had the same food every night so this was amazinggg) and watched a great movie called "Kingdom" with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner. It was great and spiced up our night a bit.
Today we went to Kakum National Park. It's about 40 minutes north of Cape Coast. Wild elephants and monkeys and other wildlife reside there but I think you have to go on an overnight camping trip to see them. So we didn't. However, we went on a canopy walk. It was incredible! We took a small hike up to this canopy stand and then had to climb it (there were stairs...no worries). There were 7 walks up top. It was so beautiful! We walked on these wooden boards that were supported by a metal frame with netting and ropes on the sides. There was a platgorm from each walkway on each tree. We were probably 30-40 feet up in the air.
Tomorrow we are meeting the real headmistress of Cape Deaf (she has been away this week on a study program) and delivering our gifts. Then we are going to Elmina Beach Resort for a late lunch. We have 2 days left at Cape Deaf and then we head home!
