Well, we are back home and an experience richer. The funeral was very nice, if you can say that of a funeral. The somgs that were sung, the flowers, everything and especially the presence of so many people that liked uncle Jan and travelled very far to come to his funeral.
Afterwards, we, this is a custom in Ghana, went to the bar next to the chapel and had a drink with all the funeral attendants in honor of Jan. As you can see, if you own a car, there are always persons that want to catch a ride, no problem, this is Africa. Yesterday we passed a school and some kids asked for a ride, before we knew it, there were 21 kids in the back of the pickup...
And DH birthday was on the same day of the funeral, so we also had a beer for his birthday, nothing fancy, but still, it was good to see old friends that travelled from Accra to Sogakope for the funeral. When DH saw the Lamborghini, he wanted a picture with it for his birthday.
Yesterday we also visited some friends at their home, which is just lovely and a wonderful garden, as you can see there was quite a bit of wind, but it was very nice to sit in the BBQ house near the river. 
And yesterday when we drove to Kotoka Int. airport, we saw this truck with engine problems... It is loaded with plastic eating bags, the kind in which they put burgers, but in Ghana, the serve chicken and rice in them.We enjoyed the privilege to go to Sogakope to attend uncle Jan´s funeral and we enjoyed the company of all our old friends over there.
how interesting glad you had a good time even though it was for a funeral
