Accra
January 1st, 2009 Posted in UncategorizedWe spent the day in the capital and went to a couple of markets. We ate the proclaimed “Best Burger Outside of the US”, which I have to say was pretty good. I feel safe here. I am constantly surprised by how friendly everyone is. Granted, many were trying to sell us things, but it was still very friendly. We met a girl today who is working with an NGO in Sierra Leone for the past four months on a women’s literacy program. She is vacationing here for a few days and is originally from Canada.
We will leave the guesthouse at 5am for the flight that will take us further north. Apparently the north will be much more dry due to an effect from the dust of the Sahara. The dust will be thick enough to cloud the sun and hopefully cool us off!
