Tomb, markets, and other interesting places.


The second day we went to the tomb of the first president of Ghana when Ghana became free. The tomb was made to look like a downward pointing sword to represent peace. The best part of the day was stopping at the markets and having to bargain with people. Every seller wants you to try on necklaces, bracelets, and clothing. I ended up buying two African bracelets at the markets. Later we went to a art museum were I bought a tapestry. Below are some pictures from the days events with brief explanation.

Two African bracelets I bought for 3 dollars

Just a panorama of the restaurant we ate at.

This is actually a coffin. You can be buried in what ever you want in Ghana.
