Ghana to Mexico

We are preparing for our trip to Mexico. Yes, we just returned from Ghana and are now setting off on another adventure. Our last days in Ghana were spent celebrating our learning. We listened to Ghanaian music from the 70s (a time when tradition and culture was mixed with new sounds) and made our own Adinkra cloths. Although we will miss Ghana, we look forward to exploring Mexico!
