Everything around Waseca seems fairly quiet. Due to so much mild weather the rink has not been flooded, so now we are in March there will very likely be no skating this winter.
Jean McPherson and Jim Maxwell enjoyed a month-long trip in January and February. They visited many places where they did a lot of sightseeing. Their first stop was in Barcelona, Spain, where they visited with their daughter-in-law and enjoyed some special sights.
In Accra, Ghana, they visited with their son Rob for a few days. Accra is a historic place. It lies on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Ghana is an agricultural country with a tropical climate. At Bussua Beach in Ghana, they visited with Comfort McLaren. Comfort runs a hotel there. With Comfort they travelled to the interior of Ghana to the area where Comfort was raised. They toured several farms in Ghana including an orange orchard farm run by Neil Conacher. Rod McLaren manages an oil plantation. The oil is obtained from oil palm nuts. The oil plantation is especially labour intensive because most of it is done by hand.
There were many interesting things to see as they travelled through Ghana.
Jean and Jim completed their holiday with a trip to Switzerland and France. I'm sure they would notice the difference in climate. In both Switzerland and France they did a lot of hiking. They also enjoyed the city of Geneva, which has many interesting places to visit.
