Ho is the capital of the Volta Region, but it is more like a big village. The only entertainment in town is funerals, wedding or church. There are many miserable looking bars. Not even a movie house.
In the mornings the locals burn the trash, plastic bags and all. This in addition to the dry desert wind that fills the air with dust and reduced visibility. They call it Harmattan, dusty wind from the Sahara.
So we spent most of New Year weekend in our room, Israeli music fills the room, thanks to Eran, Ofra and Nord’s son who gave us his little speaker toy. Benny is working on the building plans, accounting, coordination, estimating cost. and I am moving from my book to the sewing machine to the kitchen.
What do we wish for 2010 for ourselves and our loved ones? If we are in a good place in life, let’s keep it and treasure everyday.
And by the way have a happy, healthy and prosperous year.
