If you know the musical reference from the title, you rock. if not, you should be ashamed of yourself. so two weeks ago, we went to the CAPE COAST for our mid-summer retreat. it was a whirlwind of an adventure that was packed with too many things to write about in one blog post. so..... it's picture time! YAY! this one will even have a video attached :)
OUR BUS! It cost 5 Ghana cedi to ride this thing to the coast and we sat all the way in the back (anyone else find that somewhat ironic?)
At the restaurant we walked forever to find! Michelle and Deidre splurged on a little treat-- soda
I walk out of the bathroom to find this outside the restaurant! They are a dance theatre company that practices everyday at 400pm outside of this place. I'll attach a video because they were soooooooo good!
Best statue in all of Ghana! In the Bradt Travel Guide it is called "the crab shrine".
No album of pictures is complete without at least one JUMPING picture!
When walking along the beach, we spotted the FISHERMEN! They chanted a song and pulled the nets in.... it was so much fun to watch them for a while-- truly remarkable how insync they were with one another! 
Welcome to the Cape Coast Castle. This picture is of the Male Slave Dungeon. See the tiny window up top-- that would be the only light/fresh air that 200 African men would see/feel while kept here for on average six weeks waiting for the ships to arrive. Our tour guide ended the tour by saying the important that we never let this happen again so "LET US UNITE IN DIVERSITY!"
We ended the trip in Kumasi where we found a restuarant that sells pizza. Looks delish no? It was actually pretty good.... the crust? divine.
The trip was great but we were ready to get back home (and watch The Sound of Music) :)
