stefrich823: Our tour bus broke down twice rolling on these bumpy red clay dirt roads. I got this while waiting with everyone for them to work it out. #Ghana
stefrich823: Earnest our tour guide and Bobo the bus driver hard at work replacing the fan belts. Our 5 hour journey turned into a 7 hour trip. The bus broke down again about 10 miles up. #goodtimes
stefrich823: Fresh #sheabutter in the #Kumasi Central Market.
stefrich823: Street sellers rushed our bus to sell whatever they had. Some would follow us back to where we were staying. Everything was negotiable- they quote a price- you respond with a price about 2/3rds down or you can barter. This was constantly going on and it g

stefrich823: I will never ever forget our walk through #ElminaTownship...mind blowing to say the least. This is the place where the majority of slaves who were transported from #Africa to America lived or saw before they were imprisoned at the #Elmina castle. Beautifu
stefrich823: One of the major highlights of my trip was visiting the #KukumNationalPark (look it up) in #Dunkwa #Ghana. If you're afraid of heights you may not want to do the #canopy walk. The hike alone through the #rainforest to get to the top of the mountain was no
stefrich823: With a deep breath and a determined look ahead I walked the plank and pulled myself along the rope handrails to the first wooden platform - a circular treehouse that serves as a way station on the 1000ft long walkway. The bridge gives a little bounce and
