some pics...


On the bus at one point during our northern travels. I think we figured out that we had spent 60+ hours on the bus during the one week we were in the north...we all look so happy.



We rode bikes around Tamale...probably the funnest thing we did on this trip so far. Here's a cute one of Pearl.



At some sort of a museum in Paga...people in villages used to climb on their roofs to hide from their enemies coming to harm them.



We visited the Chieftess (one of the most powerful people in the area) while in Yendi. Here is a picture of one of her elders.



This is one of my favorites...she's really cute.



View of shore from Cape Coast Castle.



Emily, Erica, and I on the beach in Cape Coast.

At Asanka Locals (famous for good traditional Ghanaian food) for our Twi outing.



My favorite Ghanaian dish: Red Red (which is basically beans drenched in palmnut oil--I usually ask for only a little oil--with fried plantain pieces on the side) with plain rice...yum.



View of the sunset from dinner during the second weekend I spent in Cape Coast...Lydia's last hurrah in Ghana (oh do I miss you Lyddie)



Enjoying dinner at the resort...it was amazing!
[Although not quite as amazing as the breakfasts (included in the price of the rooms) which included all you can eat pancakes, two kinds of eggs, pineapple, watermelon, toast, real butter, jam, fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee and tea--have I forgotten to mention anything?... breakfasts were like early thanksgiving]
