The Camels come to Gushie!

We had an exciting surprise Thursday night.  We had to stay at our friend Katy’s house in Gushie because they were spraying our house for bees for the 5th time since we have been here.  We were waiting to buy some eggs and we saw a camel through the village.  There were four nomadic men  from either Mali or Burkina Faso.  They travel through Ghana every year begging for food throughout the dry season.  People in the villages all gather to look at their camels and give them a little food.

Scott was the first to try and ride the camel bare back!

Katy was the second one to give it a try.

Jennifer was the last and definitely the most frightened!  Camels are a lot taller than you think they are.
