One Last Hurrah

Before we left Ghana, we decided to squeeze in a quick road trip to the Volta Region of Ghana.  We had heard about some beautiful things there and wanted to see them before we left.  It ended up being a lot of driving on some really rough roads, but we had some neat experiences.  Here are a few pictures of our time there:

We hiked into Wli Falls, which is supposed to be the highest waterfall in West Africa.  Along the way, we saw lots of fruits growing, but the pineapples were our favorites.  Have I ever mentioned that Ghana has THE BEST pineapple?

 This is the view of the falls, as we approached.

 Here are the kids, and our volunteer teacher enjoying the cool water of the falls.

We spent the night at Mountain Paradise.  The accommodations were basic, but the view was amazing.

The next day, we went to a monkey sanctuary.  With 75 cents worth of bananas, we were all able to let convince them to come and sit on our arms.  It was really an amazing experience.

None of our group shot efforts turned out very well, but this outtake is my favorite.
