Before leaving for Ghana I went to the bookstore looking for something good to read on the plane. I was hoping to find a good African travel story. As it turned out the first book I picked up, "Nine Hills to Nambonkaha," was written by a Middlebury grad (my alma mater). It is the story of Sarah Erdman's two year Peace Corps experience in Cote d'Ivoire. It is an excellent book that helped me understand some of the subtle cultural nuances that tourists are often oblivious to.
