Jesse's Scattered thoughts on our way to Cape Coast:
  • We're repacking our bags to head to Cape Coast. I hate to travel--actually I hate the preparation for travel. You can never have enough stuff and you always have too much. Our bags are packed to the gills and they now include all the stuff from the two bags we checked in on the way (with the exception of the stuff we transported for Masuo Moroe, the owner of Sankofa Beach House). Hell, we're even leaving some stuff with Masuo's assistant, Kayode back at Sankofa house.
  • I'm antenna watching as we leave via STC bus: The internet here is wireless. I see alot of directional antennas (beams, parabolics, etc.). The antennas look like they were designed for the 2.5 Ghz band but I'm not sure. There are also alot of bowtie shaped antennas for TV--probably UHF. For Cellular, they don't use monopoles here. The cell sites are often hard to spot because they are on regular towers and poles [picture of 3 pole site]. Accra is covered with antennae. (10/11/2006: I've since learned this system is called SMART WiFi)
