Elliot and I paid a visit to the Kumasi Zoo this week. For the low, low price of one Ghana cedi (about a dollar), we were able to spend the better part of the morning exploring the zoo, checking out the animals... and getting checked out by the other visitors. All in a day's work for a little obruni ba (white boy) and his mom. The boys in the picture below followed us through the entire zoo.
Elliot is still talking about all the "aminals" he saw, especially the "badoons" and turtles. Even though I found the place rather depressing, I think we'll be going back. There are only so many (somewhat) park-like areas here where one can go and walk around away from traffic. Plus it's within walking distance of the house, which is a big bonus for days when Dusty goes to his field site and we need to get out of the house.

Wow!! Elliot looks like he has grown a couple of inches since we left. I'm glad you found a place you can walk to where he can walk around away from all the traffic. Looks like he really enjoyed himself.
Love to all of you.
I can't believe how tall Elliot looks! Such a little man!
