Picture time!

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks of our stay...
I went on a long walk together with uncle Kofi Osei's son Ellis. He took me to se the independence square, and we took nice pictures... which we soon had to erase! "Photography prohibited", informed the armed guard who caught us. After I had erased the pictures from the camera we went to the Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum, where one of Ghana's first president, the independence fighter Kwame Nkrumah is buried. (Click here to read more about him...) The memorial park surrounding the mausoleum also contains a museum, displaying many pictures, and some of Nkrumah's belongings. This picture shows his grave.
This is the mausoleum from a distance, with Nkrumah's statue in front of it.
Following are some pictures of the people we met during our stay...
This is Brenda. She works for the government, and is an excellent cook!

Familiar face? Uncle Kofi Osei's mother, also known as Mrs' grandma's sister in Kwahu, came visiting for a couple of weeks!
This is Ama, who will start Senior Secondary School this Autumn.
Here are Mrs and Theodora, who is currently visiting in London. This picture was taken in Ghana last week, before she left.
