So I've found a saving grace thus far along my trip. Yesterday I visited the Boti Waterfalls, and then Umbrella Rock, from which I had a spectacular view. Both sites combined are the kind of thing that make you believe in God, if you're into that kind of thing, which they are here. We (Lauren and I) met a lovely Nigerian family who let us share a cab to see Umbrella rock, (google it- not enough time to upload images) which we would not have had time to otherwise. We also put 9 people in a 5 seater cab, setting a new record for the journey.
Today I write from Accra, a the capital city of about 2 million people, and most were at the market today. The trip here left something to be desired, as we were booted from a decent trotro to a rickity peice of shit that had holes in the floor so I could see the road (mostly unpaved) beneath us. I think we had 19 or 20 people in a conversion van. My head is still spinning from the attempt to make sense of it all. At Makola Market, it was all I could do to hold my bag and watch my pockets as we were swimming through the crowd. I ate a cheeseburger and fries today, which was actually pretty decent. The Castle Milk Stout wasn't bad either, darker, and yet a lighter brew than Guinness.
Tonight I'll be in Accra, doing who knows what. It's pretty much set I'll be out of Africa at the end of September, and my next plan is Oktoberfest in Germany. If anyone would like to join me, let me know, more company would be appreciated.

Do you have control over where you go and how long you stay in each place?
