Cape Coast By ways - and Hi ways

Sure was glad we had a good car to take us back to Tema - as we put the suitcases in the trunk, a group of "friendlies" had gathered in the neighborhood. The most friendly ones found a perch on the roof of some of the bungalows - the more shy ones remained in the tree - a little farther away. These are the turkey vultures - about as ugly a bird as you can imagine - and not one (or more) than I would particularly like to let too close to.
This is part of the highway going from Cape Coast to Busua - you can see that Ghana does have some very nice highways - their main drawback is that they go through every little town and as you enter there are two or three sets of speed bumps and as you leave there are two or three sets of speed bumps - so you go pretty slow through the towns - the other are the police with their radar guns - they seem to know just where speed can turn to profit and so driving requires being alert at all times. Actually Sister Nielson took the picture for the great African trees that we see everywhere - they are beautiful.
