Here we are just arrived at the airport in Accra, Ghana. It was a 9 hour flight from JFK to Accra. Our hosts were waiting for us when we left the terminal. They scooped us up and ushered us to brunch at a lovely hotel, complete with swimming pool. We were wishing we had our suits on to jump in.
After brunch we drove 2 hours to the city of Ho, where we are staying for a week. After getting settled in the hotel, we had lunch and rested for a while until dinner. We are well fed as you can see.
Saturday we had a driving tour of Ho which ended at a fabric shop on the main road through the city. Just before we pulled up, the national election results were called and the celebration began. There was a spontaneous parade with a mock funeral of the losing party. The new president is named Atta Mills representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) something like our own Democratic party in the States. The music and dancing is still going on throughout the city.
