Photos At Last!!

This is flying into Accra. In all the orientation and information given no one mentioned the Harmattan. Basically all the sand blows down from the Sahara and turns this place into a dusty brown mess. You can't even see the sun!

Cedi's! Almost too pretty to spend... Almost.

We drink lots of water in a bag. It only kind of tastes like dirt and is mostly just really fun.

Just driving around. 

The first time my feet met the Atlantic Ocean! It's shockingly similar to the Pacific...
Except in the Pacific you can swim past the waves and swim around.
In the Atlantic the waves only get bigger the further you swim out.
A lesson learned the hard way,

Soooo many buildings left from colonization. 

Memorial to the first president. He declared independence here.
He's also buried under that huge stone thing.
Casual.

The hall where I stayed the first few days. "Ladies with vision and style" haha.
And it's hot. So very very hot.

The fish mentioned in the story from the other day.
NOTICE THE TEETH.

Just to show how dusty and humid it is.

Bojo Beach.

My first tro tro ride! Public transportation at it's finest. 

First trip to the market. Other EAP kids bargaining away.

Medina Market entry.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE SNAILS!
A lady tried to just give me one that she had bought because I was so fascinated.
I kindly declined. 
Or maybe just laughed and ran away.
