Boti Falls

Boti Falls


Sony and I decided to travel to Boti Falls on a beautiful Saturday day. It took us just under three hours to get there (lots of traffic), but it was worth it. A guide took us on a hike to the naturally formed rock first. It was so peaceful and green around us. And the fresh air was wonderful! When we got to the rock, we took a rest and had lunch. Once we were done, it was just a few minutes to the unusual palm tree. Afterwards, we hiked all the way to go to the falls. It was absolutely beautiful!!! There was a church group there, and most of them took a dip in the water, with their clothes on!!! I also met two Canadian girls. They are in Ghana doing an internship for 6 months. It was nice to talk to them.

Food

My adventure in Ghana


So, you might be wondering what I am eating here. Can I handle the local food? Do I miss my favorite foods back home? Well, the local food is good, some of it. The supermarkets do carry imported products, mostly from europe and middle east. I have found Lay's and Dorito's potato chips, but they do taste differently. The local market is full of cheap vegetables and fruit. There are restaurants serving good continental and chinese dishes. I do miss Subway sandwiches and my Dorito's cheese chips. Overall, I am not starving here. There is always food to be found.
