A long, long ride (over 5 hours) to Kumasi...most roads were ok but some...were unbelievable (there's a scandal recently reported about road contractors not being paid which explains why the road suddenly just disappears!). Lots of traffic and warm bread on the way; all the students in pretty good spirits but unsure of what Kumasi will bring.
We stayed at the Treasure Land Hotel and checked in, grabbed some lunch and then headed for the Palace. Here are a few of the students. It's a quaint museum with lots of character and "stuff". We were fortunate to have the curator of the museum be our personal guide through the collection.
Then a late afternoon lecture on the Land Tenure System in Ghana; students (and Kenya and I) were all impressed with the knowledge and depth of understanding demonstrated. Land is owned by "the people" so the idea of private ownership is relatively new and never absolute.
