photos!!

Last week saw repeated power outages around Accra, and the lack of fan (or even breeze) stifled any ability to think clearly. So we made a break for it, slipping away to the Cape Coast area, ~150km west of Accra. We visited Kakum National Park, one of the last bits of pristine rainforest left in West Africa, and Cape Coast Castle, a hub of the slave trade for centuries. We spent a lovely shabbat outside the hustle-and-bustle, and returned to an Accra eerily quiet due to the funeral of the long-time Chief of the Ga.

Check out photos and some commentary from our trip here. For the most part, they're very low-res, as uploading is slow and unpredictable. We'll be happy to pass on full-res versions in, oh, a few months.
