A Typical Road
Red dirt is the main source for road materials around here.

Group Photo!
Our guides, Nii, Kofi, and Denis and us making lovely faces :)

Indepence Square
When the Ghanaian Pres. is inaugurated, it happens here.

African Ocean
A view of the Gulf of Guinea from Independence Square

More Ocean
Check out those waves! No wonder "Endless Summer" was filmed here in the '60s!

Ms. Ray
Me at one of the old forts in downtown Accra

Ocean View
Where the city meets the ocean in Accra...

Fishing Boats
These are the primary source of income for many families in downtown Accra. Old School!

Ghanaian Supreme Court
I'm such a law freak!

"Freedom and .... "
Looks like justice has gone by the wayside...hmmm?

The Crew
My girls Jessica, Sam, and Joni. We call ourselves the "B-Unit" lol

Jasmin and Me
This is my roommate Jasmin and me, at the Twi Professor's Funeral. In Ghana and Africa in general, members of the same family wear clothes made of the same cloth to funerals, in order to symbolize family unity. Since we're living together, we got dresses made to match!

Traditional Dancer at the Funeral
Funerals here are extraordinary productions. First, there is the church service for hours, then there is a "traditional" performance of dancers, and food is served. This guy was definitely celebrating life!
