Yesterday I impulsively decided to go to Ghana with my friend Stuart. He used to work there about six years ago, for Wycliffe the bible translating missionaries. He’s going back for a ceremony to dedicate the completion of the definition of written language for the village that he was in.

I don’t approve of bible translation, because I don’t believe in God or Christianity. However, it’s a great opportunity to see another world, to see Africa, to visit remote and materially poor villages, and meet some people working in development. With a guide who is a good friend and knows the area.

We’re going the first two weeks of November.
