My first Visit to Ghana

I first arrived in Ghana in July 28th 2007.  Landing in the capital of Accra was an experience to talk about.  Never before had i been to an African country.  Near the airport is a restaurant across the street where you can have a cold Star Beer and listen to local music played live.  Also the food was great too.  Fowl and Joloff rice were some of the main dishes with fries known as chips to some.  My most memorable experience was visiting the slave castles along the Cape Coast of Ghana.  A small group of us went to the city of Apam where i met Chief Nana Apaa.  He told us many stories of old and allowed some of us to visit a small slave castle that is in his city.  He says that this is the slave castle that transported Africans directly to the United States.  We were all amazed!
