Driving in Ghana is crazy. I’m talking dirt
roads going 70 mph. (I have seen the speedometer.) The police do not enforce
driving laws so speed bumps are everywhere, especially the villages. The roads
have no lanes so people tend to just drive wherever they want – even directly
at oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road. Traffic in Accra is
horrible. We are in Mampong, which is about 30 miles outside of Accra and it
took us 2 hours to arrive in downtown Accra this morning. Also, everyone drives
extremely close to other cars. We were even in a slight fender bender today, but
luckily we were moving slowly in stop and go traffic. The trips are very
stressful for me, because we come very close to death frequently. Please, please pray for safe travels tomorrow
on our 12 hour journey.
