This weekend I went to Volta, an area a few hours east of Accra by bus. The pictured above is me in front of the lower falls at Wli waterfall, before going through a really intense uphill hike to the upper falls, which were very beautiful and made the hike totally worth it.

Also, you can see me and some of my Canadian-friends-found-in-Ghana in some dresses we bought in Hohoe (pronounced sort of like Ahoy), where we stayed for the weekend.

On Sunday we took a tro-tro from Hohoe to Ho (say that 5 times fast!), and toured the village of Helekpe, where we saw some weaving and drumming. The young man pictured above learned how to weave years ago, and he works the loom with his hands and feet- it was amazing how quickly he could move the spools of thread back and forth. Puts to shame the pot-holders I would weave as a kid on my little square plastic loom.
