Road Trip to Accra

                         A three day trip to Accra just isn't quite long enough considering two of                                                              those days were driving.  So, we made the most of it!

Accra Soccer Stadium

I LOVE to see the temple in Accra,

I'm going there some day, when it's not closed for cleaning...

               Yes, unfortunately that was the case.  Its ok, it just means we have to go back again.  :P

Shopping in Accra!

This past week we had the pleasure of going to Accra with the Cosgraves to meet the Area Office employees and the Accra West Mission leaders.  It was a fast trip, drive all day on Wednesday, spend the  night, meet with people and do a bit of shopping, haircuts, and dinners with our new friends there, then drive home again on Friday.  It was very enjoyable to be out and about and seeing new people and places and the Cosgraves are pretty fun to be with!  A change of pace is a good thing!

This is coco pod growing on a coco tree trunk.  Inside that pod, you will find many coco beans which are harvested, dried and then made in to chocolate products.  Cocoa is one of Ghana's biggest exports.

Checking out the dinner menu at Lord of the Wings.  Great name for a restaurant, don't you think?  By the way, the food was really good and they had more than just wings on the menu.
