Ghana

Elmina Castle Interior.  Women were separated to one direction and men in another direction. The area, "The coast" was also called "the White man's grave" because of the mass amount of death from illnesses such as yellow fever, malaria, heat exhaustion, and many gastro-entero sicknesses.
We drew lots of curiosity with t number of the youth from Elmina, the town where the castle is also located.
The following photos are are located in Elmina the town in this area and on our way to the retaurant on the beach to have lunch.
Wood used in drying fish and in construction of the small boats used for fishing.

In spite of the humbleness of this area it is remarkably clean. You do not see trash thrown around like you do on other African countries. There is a pride here.
Notice the board to get in and out of this small business. I have a feeling they need it in the wet season of the year.
Young boy working and carrying food  balanced on his head.
The lady is carrying a square box on her head. How do they do it?
Again notice the cleanliness of the streets are areas.
Resort where we enjoyed a lunch on the beach Coconut Grove Beach Resort. The food was very good and plentiful.
Beautiful sandy beaches in front of the restaurant we had lunch.
Trinkets for sale just in front of where we are eating.
Young children playing in the kids pool.  I have an idea that none of the kids in this pool knew how to swim. thus they were in the smaller pool in the foreground.
Name of the hotel where we had lunch on the beach Coconut Grove Beach Resort
Notice the amount of fish drying on the ground in the photo.  Fishing is the main industry in this part of Ghana. You will see numerous locations of fish set out to dry in the sun.
Leaving back through Elmina through the fishing village.
