Today is our last day after spending the weekend in cape coast, and I can honestly say if I could pick up my family and friends and bring them here with me, I would live out my life here. We have been staying at coconut grove beach resort and it is so gorgeous here. Nothing but palm trees and white sand beaches :)
On Friday, we went to two different slave castles, Elmina and Cape Coast, and it was truly one of the most sobering experiences of my life. I can't even describe it but if anyone ever comes to Ghana, you have to go to Elmina castle undoubtedly. It was life changing.
On Saturday, we did a tree top canopy tour through the rainforest and it was amazing!!!! We were literally suspended hundreds of feet above the rainforest on the long wooden planks held up by nets. It was so thrilling and so beautiful. I am so excited to post pictures.
It's hard to write this journal entry because I know that it is the last one that I will write about the weekend experiences I've had. But I am looking forward to writing a post about what I've learned about myself and life in general.
I am do happy knowing that I get to see my family on Tuesday and my friends soon after. I got everyone some great souvenirs ;)
Peace and love.
