Our Ghanian vacation

Even cows like to hang out on the beach — in Butre, Western.

We make the 30 minute walk across the dry wetland to the canoe

Kinda like Boundary Waters...
 

On the way to the stilt village
 


Our first view up close of the house built on stilts on top of a lake, Nzulezo

This is a house being built
 

Reading helped these people spell, but not guess that the word intelligence was too long for one line
 

Some kids jamming in a canoe
 

I taunt one of the chief's pet turkeys.
.

We enjoy some palm wine atop the roof of a PCV's house overlooking the ocean...nice!
 

We splurge and get fresh lobster thermidor for dinner, caught that morning!
— 

A walk along the beach one direction to the nearby village, next to the Hideout Lodge.
 

We went for a hike to the top of a big hill and found another beautiful beach from the top!
— 

Every day we would walk about a mile each way to this point where, when the waves came in with the tide, the ocean spray reminded us of standing in front of the Flume at Valleyfair!

Our point
— in Butre, Western.

This was our wonderful beach we enjoyed for 4 days.

and this is the 40 square foot tree house we stayed in.

Home sweet home, for 4 days.

Ahhhhh...at the beach
