| At Asaasi Yaa - our second to last night of reflection and discussion on our trip. |
 |
| Our last full day in Ghana was spent relaxing at Asaasi Yaa beach resort - taking some basic surfing lessons from Sarah, our SAGE guide, swimming, walking on the beach, playing cards, reading, and taking a hike up a mountain near Asassi Yaa. Some of the group decided to hike, others stayed back. I really wanted to go on the hike, but unfortunately I had a migraine headache at that same time, so I stayed back to rest. Everyone that went on the hike seemed to really enjoy it! The group climbed 246 stairs to make it to the top - way to go! |

| Back at Asaasi Yaa they were busy preparing for a music, dance, and cultural festival that would take place at the resort that weekend, Easter weekend, called the Mother Earth Festival. Powerful would be drumming at the weekend event and was helping the resort staff with preparation details. Here is a poster that was put up in the courtyard to display some of the activities happening that weekend. |

| One last look at Asaasi Yaa during the day. We would leave the next morning to spend the day in the city of Accra, go to the Kwame Nkrumah memorial gardens and museum, check out a local arts center market, and have a final dinner together before heading to the airport for our flights home. If you ever find yourself in Accra, I would recommend the places we stayed in the area - Asaasi Yaa (in Krokrobite) and One Africa House (in Elmina) - both are very peaceful, scenic, beautiful locations right on the coast. The accommodations are simple and basic, yet comfortable, clean, with friendly staff and good food. I will miss this place! It was a nice spot to begin and end our incredible trip. |
