Nicole Here.
We just had our first weekend off and came north to Cape Coast to visit. They speak a different language here (Fanti) and our group is at a loss since the only phrases we know are in Ewe. The vibe here is very different from the rural village we normally live in.
Cape coast is beautiful with rough water and palm trees swaying in the wind.
We spent yesterday playing tourists. Water bottles, visors and all. We got up early and went to the national park and took a tour of the rain forest canopy. We walked a suspension bridge. I'm not sure what I was thinking... I don't even like riding chairlifts. It was wonderful, butterflies everywhere. We went further down the road to a crocodile pond where and ate lunch on a dock within 5 feet of the water (there was a very large concrete fence separating us). We spent the afternoon at the largest slave castle in west Africa. It is in a beautiful town but the dichotomy of the suffering and inhumanity was palpable.
Ghana is truly amazing.
