While engineering a record in Cape Coast, Ghana, for the drum group AFI, we got the chance to bail north to an animal sanctuary.   After our vehicle broke down outside of a mud village north of Kumasi, we wandered through the village.  We were told the local greeting was Deswa.  So we wandered through the candle lit mud village.  Thatched roofs, guinnea foul behind wooden fences, women carrying water on their heads, no modern amenity in sight.  Deswa we greeted the chief and the many others of the town.  The response (Hello) was NAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Finally, we got our vehicle fixed and made it to the preserve.  We tracked the elephants through the brush.  I had the good fortune to stand in an elephant track.
