Taking pictures here is actually really hard. I get really shy behind the camera here just because locals sometimes get either angry, embarrassed, or too camera-happy when I have my camera with me. I try to take as many pictures as possible here, but most of my pictures are from our excursions or weekend trips where we are in touristy areas because it is expected that people take pictures. Day to day life here people don't really appreciate having their pictures taken. In addition, we've been told that some feel like we are trying to exploit the under-development of the country, when really I appreciate every aspect of Ghana, even the less developed parts. So yeah, not as many pictures as I would like... but I do have some:

So formatting photos on blogspot is probably one of the most frustrating things ever, so these are the places I went in order of the photos - Kakum Canopy Walk (at top), Elmina Castle, learning how to batik, then the beach outside our hotel):
