A Weekend in the Water

Saturday morning was sunny and warm, so a group of us packed our towels and headed to the beach. We took a cab to Coco Beach Resort, which has a private beach available for hotel guests or paying customers. For the price of 1 cedi,we were able to relax on the warm sand and splash in the Atlantic Ocean. We even started a game of football (soccer) with some local Ghanaians. We had pineapple pizza for dinner, while watching the sun set behind the palm trees.

On Sunday, we went to the Shangrila Hotel and spent the afternoon at their pool. We played in the water and read books in the sun for 7 cedis. We even saw the winner of the Mr. Ghana competition relaxing in the water. For dinner, we went to Churcheese, which is the Ghanaian equivalent of Chucky Cheese's. Although ice cream is apparently not an ingredient in Ghanaian milkshakes, we still had fun sliding and swinging in the play area.

And to think, you don't need to go to Ghana to have a Malted Milk Shake. You can just go down to your Neighborhood Dairy King in Lastchance Colorado and get one. If you are looking for the frozen treat of a Blizzard, though, you will be out of luck. They have Tornado's.
