IAIA ‘09

May 12 arrived in Accra, Ghana, Africa at about 9pm. Long trip.

Stifling, humid wave of heat. At least for me. I was wearing jeans and a polo shirt with a tee-shirt underneath. Too many clothes.

May 13 did some walking, quite a bit actually and worked up quite a sweat. Saw the ocean from Independence Center. The IC is a very cool outdoor stadium right on the beach. Annually, on March 6th, the Ghanaians celebrate there independence, won in 1957.

Coffee in Fargo, ND

I'm not so much addicted to coffee that the quality and taste can wane just so I can get my fix. Coffee is an important part of my daily routine. And even though budgets may occasionally get in the way, or a new house or job may change my daily route, there is always good coffee along the way. Fargo is well saturated with coffee establishments, both drive up huts and sit down houses.

I will begin writing about some of the coffee establishments in Fargo, ND soon.

4 out of 5

Pros: Lightweight, Strong Construction

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I owned this product for several months before deciding to trade it for a Nikon 50mm 1.4. I really enjoyed this lens and was able to get some very nice shots with it. It worked very nice shooting landscapes, botany and candids of my twins in all lighting conditions. I used it on my Nikon D80. I would recommend this lens without a doubt.
