Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos.

When I was younger, I spent two summers living with a Ghanaian host family a little bit outside of Accra. I know it's a bit of a cliche to say, but the people in Ghana are so friendly and welcoming. I would spend a lot time traveling around Accra by myself using the minibus taxis that everyone crams into (including at night), and I never felt threatened even though people could obviously see I was a foreigner. People used to come up to me all the time and try to give me directions to make sure I wasn't lost. While in many developing countries I would have been a target for theft...in Ghana people were always genuinely trying to help a visitor!
