Ghana Through a Lens

The world is definitely "flat". When we were walking around Accra one day, we were walking by a shop and found this guy inside. Clearly a Canadian at heart!


It is a bit weird seeing a snow man in a city where you melt as soon as you step outside of an air conditioned room!

This is a picture of Cape Coast from our hotel's outdoor restaurant.

We talked about the Cape Coast Castle that was used by the British as a slave trading centre with the church built above the holding dungeon - this picture is taken from that church. It is tough (and sad) to imagine what this place would have looked and felt like at the height of the slave trade.

Here Kim and I are on the swinging bridges in the tree tops of the Kakum National Park.
