Day 9: July, 1st
Well… the meeting never
happened at the college here in Kumasi. It was a really nice place to stay
though! We got up, ate breakfast, and got the VIP greyhound (our best
transportation by far!) for Accra, the last point of our journey. What a ride
it was, there was only seating for 31, I think??? The bus had AC, legroom, very
nice. The trip was about 5 hours, I got some great pics through the window!
We didn’t do much else today…
got checked in, ate, took some pics at the hotel. Trying to use the internet
here is very frustrating. I got some of my “blog catch up” done, but I can’t
even get on now. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow and when I get home I’m going
to be thankful for what we have. We Americans take so much for granted; it
takes coming to a place like this to make us really appreciate what we have.
Until tomorrow :)
Our VIP coach from Kumasi to Accra... nice ride! It felt really good after being jammed in the back seat for 21.5 hours :)
Watermelon... one of the many things for sale all over
This phone company, "Glo," is everywhere in Ghana. They encourage people to paint their houses and work places this color and add their logo... how ingenious, free advertising. And so many people do it, you see it everywhere!
Growing rice
The women here amaze me! They put their babies on their back, goods on their head, and go to work
These children were on the side of the highway... we saw children everywhere; walking to and from school, playing, unfortunately school is not mandatory so some parents have their children selling goods with them. Football (soccer) is HUGE in Ghana. We saw football being played all over and it was on the TV all the time (of course the World Cup was being played while we were here, but also local games of football were being watched
A modern gas station, one of the nicest that we saw. Gas prices ranged from $4.50 - $5.50 per gallon
