Friday in the Mines and the Kumasi Central Market

A trip to AgloAshanti Gold
Mines; we started out with a great lecture on the efforts made to ensure environmental sustainabilty and then a trip 800 feet down the mine! Even Uncle Martin joined us for this adventure. The trip down wasn't bad, but coming back up was a little chore - tiring but not impossible. Sorry, no souveniers, we were unable to remove ANYTHING from the mine.

Then a trip back to Kumasi (lunch at BonJour...pizza) and then a quick visit to the Kumasi Central Market (here are some palm kernals) - we were greeted with fist pumps and cries of OBAMALAND! I'm pleased we were able to squeeze in a visit, even at the end of the day, this is the second largest open market in Africa.
