Run to Ghana

The Ghana border is about 10 km from the ship and the last 2 Sundays we've been a small group having our morning run to the border. My goal with "no walking" failed at 14 km last week, today I got to 16 km... We leave at 6:00 a.m. to beat the worst heat, but by the time we get back it is already above 30 Centigrades. The fun thing is that the beach area we pass by is packed with people. The locals are running, playing soccer, having gym classes and exercising in big numbers. Some of the groups count hundreds of people. It is good to see that this country is not all poverty and hard work :-) Dag
