The City

Accra is the largest city in Ghana. It was an experience driving around in the bus, as merchants walk along the street and approach the windows of the bus to sell their wares. You wouldn't have to stop off at the grocery store on the way home in Ghana - just open your window and they'll have anything you need!

There are large buildings. Not sky-scrapers, but certainly 15 stories or so. Traffic is congested, and there are traffic lights, though sometimes you wonder why...

Adrian opened his window and bought a Ghana t-shirt from the fella in the Nike hat. Kristen passes on buying some peanuts.
