Accra has changed, as I commented in a previous post. With the changes, there are differences, but at the same time the spirit of the Ghanaian people has remained the same. A very resilient and eager to help type of attitude reigns. The congested city of Accra still retains feelings of good will and such hope for the future.
What is hospitality without good food? Ghana certainly has her array of delicious cuisine. It might be local fare or International delights. I did go to "The Heritage House"- they opened a branch near the house I was staying, so this made it easy. I enjoyed Indian cuisine while chatting with old friends. How much better can life get than that?
All in all, the trip went splendidly. It was a great time of being reunited with old friends and meeting new friends. I laughed, cried, sighed, and rejoiced with people who I love. This is what life is all about - the people. It is hard for me to go anywhere and just speak of the sights and sounds; I find myself always relating back to the people. The Ghanaian people are such a warm and welcoming people. They truly make Ghana what it is today- a wonderful place to visit!
lovely post.
ReplyDeletelove that baby metaphor for trust. inspiring.
i do agree with you. it'speople, not animals that make tourism worth it.
are these villages like our indian villages?
envy you!
kochuthresiamma- yes people certainly make travel worthwhile. These pics are actually taken in the capital- Accra, Ghana. Africa has such a different feel from India- when I first went I thought it would be similar; however, I soon discovered there was such a vast difference.

ReplyDeletemy first visit to your blog, and what a lovely post. I shall have to explore your earlier stories. thanks.
Kerry- Thanks for dropping in. I had a wonderful reading through your posts- and plan to return to keep up with what you write.
ReplyDeleteIf you do plan to explore earlier stories- I would suggest you go right back to the beginning- and the reason I actually started this blog.
Surely, it is the people who make the place what it is.
ReplyDeleteYour fondness for Ghana is endearing.
Anil- you are right- the people do make the place. That should be a reminder to all of us, our behavior and attitude will be a reflection of where we are living- and for the visitors who come by- it might be the reason they like or dislike a place.
