Around Accra we go

Today was the second day in Ghana, and the heat is sweltering. We visited the memorial museum of the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah. His first name tells you that he is male and born on Saturday. He was instrumental in the transition of Ghana formerly known as the Gold Coast from a British colony to independent nation. We also visited independence square which is an outdoor arena that holds thousands of people. We continued our tour and learnt small things about the culture from our manly tour guide George.
