Akwaabe

Welcome!

I am engulfed in a sea of LANGUAGE- some i know and some i don't...
so for now...

Some say a picture says a thousand words... here're a few thousand...




OK-just kidding... i will comment a little on the last picture...

The silver structure you see is the Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum. 

It is not the most aesthetically beautiful... (like much of Accra)...
but the symbolism touched my heart... (like much of Accra)...
Kwame Nkrumah greatly helped Ghana establish independence and
was a huge advocate for Pan-Africanism.

The structure symbolizes the trunk of a tree - though it was stunted in growth
