beach weekend

we didnt have school friday so my friend emily and i went to Takrobite for some much needed relaxation. we started our journey friday morning at nine. 4 trotros and a couple hours later we were standing on bojo beach. trotros are ghanas public transportation. vans crammed with people going all over the place for super cheap. we only paid about 2 USD. its lovely.

we layed in the sun, listened to the waves and read our books for about 6 hours. its funny, i had to remind myself where i was. i praise god for the amazing continent of africa. i am so thankful to be in this place for such a time as this...

we had lunch on the beach. i had a salad and yam chips, SO good!

we left the beach and taxied to big millys. its a backpackers paradise. its all rasta-farian, super chill and laid back. we had our own little bungalow complete with a mosquito net. no running water so we bucket showered under the sun. there is definitely something to say for simple living

this is a fishing boat that was on the beach. very appropriate words etched in the side eh?

the next day we slept in, had breakfast and did a little shopping (okay, i did the shopping). on the way home from our outing, i was getting into the trotro when i realized that my skirt was stuck in the door. i sure did show all of ghana something that didnt need to be shown. hahahah it was really embarassing but really funny too. i suppose when those things happen, the only thing you can do is laugh. a funny way to end a wonderful relaxing weekend.

the beautiful west african coast. its so beautiful here. i am truly thankful.
