After painfully watching a Hue Grant romantic comedy on the plane, I was ready to get my butt off that Delta airplane. The 7 of us have finally safely landed in Ghana where we will be spending the next 30 hours on various buses to get to our beloved Burkina Faso.
You might have guessed it, but let me reconfirm. Bus rides here are not your average Montreal/Trois-Rivieres Greyhound. Losing a drive-shaft (what connects your back wheels to the engine) is not usually planned. But, our adventures spent on countless uncomfy bus seats gave us the chance to see the countryside.
The pictures, videos, and stories you've seen on TV are true but taken completely out of context. Kids might live in mud houses, but you haven't seen such genuine smiles since Charlie found the golden ticket.

Are you trying to tell us that within the first few hours of landing in Africa, the Engineers Without Borders clan fixed a bus?
no no. nothing like that. we sat on the floor as the drivers fixed it without turning the engine off. he was good.
