Scenery of Ghana

When we arrived in November it was during the harmattan. That is a dry season where the winds of the Sahara dessert blow across the skiies for about 3-4 months. Finally the rainy season started. It is much prettier. Everything has turned green and the trees blossomed. When it rains the temperatures cool down to a more comfortable level. We love to hear the rain come....coming from Washington, that is a switch! At home we relished the sunshine, in Ghana we look for shade! :-) We drove to a lake about an hour from here. It was a beautiful volcano lake. We also were taught about the cocoa pod tree and tasted a cocoa pod.
