May we never forget. Tears stream down my face. I walk through the Door of No Return and into a crowd of fishermen hauling in boats and repairing nets. Children are playing in the water. Women sell fried snacks and fruit.
Life goes on.
I'm stuck in Cape Coast because the return bus isn't until tomorrow morning. The ambassador talks about the U.S. anti-AIDS campaign in Ghana. The Internet is bringing us closer. Ambassador Robinson also quiets fears about U.S. funding for Africa, saying she doesn't think President Bush knows where Ghana is, so she's not worried. She's one of the few ambassadors who are career State Department employees and not political appointees.
