For my 31st B-day Kirsten and I journeyed to a place called Tenzuk, not far from our site. The village and surrrounding area are sacred to many of the traditional believers in Ghana because of the ancient shrines tucked into caves in the surrounding hills. The area reminded me of Joshua Tree nat. park with the crazy looking rock formations, and had a sort of an ancient feeling to it with the homes of rounded mud formation and the prevelance of traditional religious practice. This is hyena cave that Kirsten is in. A Peace Corps volunteer was stationed at this village a few years back and she used to sleep in this cave. Longer ago Hyenas used to sleep here.
