Ringing in the new year

Like Christmas, New Years Eve is more about church than anything else here in Ghana.

Victoria and Ako spent NYE at their church from 8 to 2am. The rest of the family spent it at home.

Akwasi and I, after a long day, decided to head to Shakes, the spot we first visited the night we arrived, where many of his high school friends hang out. It was just like any other night except for at about 12:15 we realized it was the first and toasted. In all it was a great night, no ball or MTV countdown, no hype, no worries about special outfits or cover charges. Just friends and beer.

Happy New Year!
