Summer Arrival in Tamale

After attending the wedding of our son, Jim, and Kate in the U.S., then spending a six-day holiday in Portugal on our way to Ghana, we arrived back in Tamale on 3 August. Challenges met us head-on as our roof needed repair having been damaged by heavy rains a few weeks prior. This was followed by three days of no water. During the night, a pipe broke apart which resulted in the entire water in our poly-tank emptying out into the backyard. Coincidentally, the town water flow stopped as well which had us filling coolers and other containers from a neighbor's supply. With the eventual delivery of a tank of water, we are now back on track.
