Travel Tips | Travels in Ghana
https://ghanatravels.wordpress.com/travel-tips
From Accra to Sirigu. Travel tips to Ghana are all over the internet. Here’s my two cents’ worth. One of the best sources of up-to-date travel information on Ghana is the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree message board. The Ghana branch. Get a copy of the Bradt Guide to Ghana. It’s the only Ghana-specific guide I’m aware of, and it’s a really good one. I used it a lot, before, during and after the trip. There was a great deal of very useful information on what to see and what was overhyped, which helped narrow do...

From Accra to Sirigu. Crazy Dangerous Things You’ll See on the Road in Ghana. The Ghana Way of Death. December 14, 2009 by mariemcc. In Ghana funeral signboards are a common sight. Funerals in West Africa are extremely important events. People will go into debt if necessary in order to give a lavish funeral to an elder member of the family, even those who don’t have the money to meet their basic, everyday needs. Services seem to be held in any open space that will hold a lot of people. Book Review on Jun...

The Architecture of Northern Ghana | Travels in Ghana

From Accra to Sirigu. Laquo; Catastrophe Averted. The Bumpy Road to Mole. The Architecture of Northern Ghana. October 29, 2009 by mariemcc. I kept an eye out for the mud and stick mosques that Stanley told me were common in this area. Before long, we came upon a house with a wall around it built in the style of the mud and stick mosques. We stopped to get permission to photograph it, and for a two-cedi fee to the owner, which I thought was a bargain, I got the following pictures. E-Books by Marie McCarthy.

Made in Oaxaca, bought in Xalapa. A ceramic pitcher I got at the Naolinco market. Can you believe it was only forty cents? E-Books by Marie McCarthy.

I may not be able to get back here soon, as I want to make a couple of trips to Europe next, but I do want to come back. Veracruzanos are really nice to be around. Read Full Post ».

Laquo; Book Review: Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools. Spanked by a Logical Muse. Make Your Own Kindle Travel Guide. August 9, 2010 by mariemcc. One of the reasons I bought a Kindle was so that I wouldn’t have to schlep around travel guides on vacation any more. Electronic travel guides are easy to find on Amazon, and even though some of them don’t have photos, they’re still a lot better than lugging around a paper version. I copied the collected information from the internet, including photos and URLs, ...
