I had forgotten about Ghana. Last week I E-Mailed Eric questioning about the shipment update for p/r reasons and the Store locator not showing africa at all. He E-Mailed back requesting clarification about which shipment. This threw me for a loop so I Clarified with his privious blog about South Africa. He thanked me and that was that. Now I see he was also toying with the Ghana shipment. It still leaves me wondering about the addition of the stores in South Africa to the Locator and a P/R to that effect.
Quick Look at Accra, Ghana from which purchase order is coming from
