Located on the Gulf of Guinea on the continent of Africa, the Republic of Ghana is geographically closer to the center of the world than any other country. The word Ghana means "Warrior King" and was the title accorded to the kings of the medieval West African Ghana Empire.
Although most hurricanes that have a chance to reach the Florida gulf coast, somewhere near Tampa, originate just to the west of Ghana, I do not hold this matter against them since I do not believe there is anything they can do to prevent such events from occurring (I do hope they're working on a solution, though).
Boasting an historically dominant national football team (American soccer), the Black Stars of Ghana reached the 2010 FIFA World Cup quarter finals, held in South Africa.
Ghana represents the sixth continent to pay 365 Days of Jazz Hands a visit, and Africa will likely be the final continental representative as I'm fairly confident that there is nobody in Antarctica interested in hand jazzing. Hands in large mittens makes a hand jazzing lifestyle difficult to pursue...large fluffy mittens also makes it quite difficult to search the internet and find blogs regarding Jazz Hands. That being said, we still have a long way to go, so there is still a chance that there is one chilled soul living in an igloo with an internet connection that may pay us a visit...until then, I will assume that Africa is the sixth, and final, continent to join in on the hand jazzing.
Welcome aboard, Ghana! Welcome aboard, Africa!
Today's Jazz Hands had high sustained winds. Day one-hundred and forty-six complete.
