An Addendum...

Before I go too far, I want to clear somethings up from my last post. It was pointed out to me that I was not being completely accurate in my word choices, and I agree. When I said that in Aburi I felt that I had finally felt like I was in Africa, I was wrong. What I meant to say is that I finally got away from some of the more Western culture in Ghana. Africa is not simply characterized by small villages with the large cities as some kind of ill-fitting abnormality. City life is a way of life just as valuable and vibrant as village or rural life. You cannot characterize America either by Chicago, it's suburbs, or the rural countryside in Iowa. You can also not characterize Africa by its urban, suburban or rural communities alone. They must all be taken into account equally in a consideration of Africa.
