Our first weekend here and it's a long weekend with monday off. By the middle of last week, we had discussed the plan for the weekend and given how many different kinds of personalities we have in the team, that too from different countries, some even having definite opinions of what they want to do here.. I had almost expected we'd split up and have multiple plans. So, it was really surprising, when in almost half an hour, we all had decided on the plan for all the days and we were all in. It was really nice to have the whole team together.
Today was a trip to Kakum national park, with a nice canope walk, coconut grove for lunch and cape coast for castle sight-seeing... Elmina Castle(in portugese means mine - referring to africa as gold mine).. castle started as store for spices, then changed to trading and storage of slaves, then changed to police training ground.
Coconut grove was nice.. had a good conversation about political stability of ghana, democracy in brazil.. ran into an indian couple who were vacationing here from takoradi, apparently, there's a Delhi Public School in Tema.. gosh, didn't know they had spread out so much!
