Once we arrived at the hotel outside Ada Foah we boarded a boat which took us on a cruise down the Volta to the sea. We stopped at the mouth of the river to take in the spectacular view of the river emptying into the Atlantic. It was amazing to stand on a beach overlooking the ocean with the strong current of the river flowing parallel to the beach. I took the opportunity to do a little panoramic video of this:
After the island village we headed back to the hotel for lunch. (I'll talk about Ghanaian food in a separate post someday when I have a more complete knowledge of the subject.) The rest of the day was relaxing but not really note worthy. I'm getting ready to go watch the Superbowl (Fun fact: if you add a random space, Superbowl can turn into: Superb owl ... which is pretty cool in itself.) so until next time, enjoy the snow!
P.S. - I went to the opening of the 2011 Africa Unite Symposium on Friday where there were speeches and a showing of Bob Marley's "Africa Unite!". After the video, the speaker wanted to acknowledge Rita Marley (Bob's wife). She had been sitting two rows behind me the whole time, how cool is that?
