As a goodbye to Africa I would like to publish our "African Counting Game"
10- the number of shops with the words "Jesus Saves" in the title. For example "Jesus Saves Rice and Chicken" or "Jesus Saves Stop and Shop"
9- the number of times we genuinely thought we would crash and die in a speeding taxi with no seatbelts
8- the number of meals Jess secretly slipped Beth some of the meat from her plate
7- the number of times Beth slipped Jess a gnawed on bone to pretend Jess had eaten the meat
6- the number of times Beth saved us tons of money with her patented bargaining skills
5- the number of other white people we saw in Kumasi and Burkina Faso combined
4- the number of women we saw wearing the full burka
3- the number of pigs we saw (as opposed to 1,000 chickens, accompanying roosters, 500 goats and just as many cows)
2- the number of working seatbelts in all of West Africa (both worn by taxi drivers bent on mass destruction)
1- marching band (this one is for you, Dad!!!!)
