Ete-sen from Canada

From Canada, the picture above is best viewed with your computer facing south.

The picture is part of a going away present from my friend Mary-Lynne, who is an artist and web designer. The image of me she took in the spring of 2010 on a white water canoe trip that my partner, Anna-Marie, and I took with Mary-Lynne and her partner, Antin.

It reminds me that I can surmount the fear of new adventures.

Once I've landed in Ghana, and figured out the local internet, I will be making sporadic posts to this site. I can't promise that the post will be regular or interesting, but when I post there will be pictures!
