I've had the chance to return to Ghana during the first weekend of May...only this time do to an all girls hiking trip to Wli Waterfalls, the largest waterfalls in West Africa.

Left: Us again, but this time on Sunday, in front of our mean green taxi-bus thing, before heading back to the ship.)
This past weekend ended up being a lot more relaxing than anticipated...but it was definitely welcomed. A few friends and I headed east of Togo this time, to the country of Benin. We spent the weekend in a small town called Possotome on Lake Aheme. Here, we just chilled, and spent a morning learning how to fish from the villagers. Needless to say...if we had to fish for our lives, pretty sure that we'd starve...
Now, don't get me wrong...this isn't how I normally spend my weekends here. But, sometimes, it's nice to get away. However...it's always great to be back. :-)
