SIMPLE WITH SMILES.....WHEN WE STEP ON SOME OF THESE VERY SMALL ISLANDS HERE IN GHANA WE LITERALLY STEP BACK IN TIME. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK LIFE IS SIMPLE, AND ALL THAT NATURE HAS TO OFFER IS USED AND EATEN TO SUSTAIN LIFE. I LOVE WHEN YOU SEE THE NATURAL RESOURCEFULNESS OF MANKIND. IT REMINDS ME THAT LIVING SIMPLE IS AN ART AND TO MUCH STUFF IS A PRISON.
A TIRE ISN'T JUST FOR A CAR, AND THERE ARE NO CARS ON THIS ISLAND.
A LITTLE SHADE AND HARD WORK SHELLING OYSTERS BRINGS A WAVE AND DINNER!
JUST A TINY GROVE OF TREES, HANDMADE BASKETS, RUFF WOODEN SLATS FOR BENCHES AND YOU HAVE A LIBRARY!
NO BRICK AND MORTAR TO WORRY ABOUT MAINTAINING. YOU JUST HANG THE BASKETS WITH BOOKS OUT EACH DAY, AND BRING THEM INSIDE AT NIGHT. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A LIBRARY CARD.
