Accra-Aflao Road

The Accra-Aflao road that takes one to Ada Foah runs through an agricultural area where the ripening crop is watermelon. Our best guess is that farmers and their family members sell the fruit directly from their farms which abut the road. Mile after mile of these roadside stands probably supply produce to Accra and other cities in the country. It costs about eight cedis to buy a watermelon at the Night Market on the University of Ghana campus. We bought one from the Accra-Aflao road, for one.

When we returned to our flat, we began packing. The kitchen is almost done, and several items are in storage. Lots more to be done in the next two days!
