I’ll take Hot Tamale Over Accra Any Day

Anula (good evening) from Accra! I arrived here last night and have spent the day running some last minute errands to prepare for the Summer Fellows. Since CWS works in Tamale, which is about 12 hours north of Accra, there actually isn’t too much that needs to be done here for our Fellows – just some travel and lodging logistics.

Tamale, where CWS works, is the capital of the Northern Region and is about 12 hours north of Accra.

Although there were only a few errands to run, they still managed to take all day because of Accra’s infamous TRAFFIC!

My view for about 90% of the day…

While there are a lot of perks to living in Accra (namely delicious restaurants, the beach, and HOT SHOWERS) I much prefer spending my work-days like this:

I can not wait to be back at the CWS Office in Tamale tomorrow! Summer Fellows – we are so excited for you to get here!

One thought on “I’ll take Hot Tamale Over Accra Any Day

  1. I love to go to places like Accra. One of my friends told me about Accra and its scenic attractions. I was wondering if you could help me find cheap flights to Accra. I can ask my agent (Reliance Travels) to buy tickets for me, provided I know the airline.
