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.

A view of the Hideout lodge

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
