It was quite a long day yesterday. After 25 hours we *emily and I* finally arrived settled into our hotel, Greenwich Guest \lodge just outside Accra. \it was a long journey and pretty uneventful. We were greeted warmly by our ride and owner of the hotel Mr Osa as we stepped out of the airport. It felt like we were being greeted by an old friend. That's a good feeling after such a long ride.
Everyone here has been so nice and friendly. We've come into Accra today with a guide, Nee and have stopped at internet cafe. It's the main market of the city , people come from all over Ghana. It's packed. YOu can find everything here. We're going to tour the city, see the beach and then scope out a new hotel closer to the city.
There are many amazing things to see. One of them is how the women can carry such heavy items on their heads. We saw one women with about 6 heavy boxes on her head. I watched a man take one of the boxes off her head and he struggled to get it off. They had to be at least 20 pounds a piece.
I'll post more in a few days.
Oh yeah, Happy fourth of July.
