I enjoyed a pleasant drive to Peki today. I had to attend the funeral of a friend's dad.
I love driving around Ghana; the verdant scenery and watching the small town residents go about their business. The high poverty level is always apparent and often overwhelming. The poor roads dilute the pleasure somewhat. However, the total experience of intriguing place names, various entrepreneurial activities and the mental exercise of thinking through how we can collaborate to improve lives is always interesting. These experiences inform my opinions whenever I've had cause to speak.
I enjoyed the church service in parts as always. I thoroughly enjoy choral music perhaps because I'm a distinctly average singer. There's a soothing purity to many great voices singing together in tune. The E. P. Church at Peki-Blengo had many choirs in attendance including the very good resident choir. There were others from New Achimota and Nima (Accra) and Cape Coast.
RIP Mr. D. M. Tutu. You looked a stern man but you always had a broad smile and a hello for me when I visited. Fare thee well.
