First Moments on the Continent
i have arrived. upon exiting the airport, after passing through immigration, i found dozens upon dozens of beautiful black faces waiting to greet loved ones returning home, holding signs looking for people they didn't know, or looking for a way to help out a traveler and make some money. overall, the air was full of the anticipation of meetings, and i felt like i was meeting them all, as well as the land and the air and the sky. in some ways it reminded me very much of my first arrival in jamaica several years ago.
it is a cool night in the dry season, and am enjoying riding around with the wind blowing in my face, looking at the people and the places of ghana. my first meal was fried chicken and fried rice...a classic ghanaian dish. delicious!
