After a beautiful weekend in the Volta region I am relaxed and recharged for the city again. The monkeys, lake, and waterfall are all adventures I will never forget. The people I met I won’t forget either. The first polaroid portrait is of Mercy and her son Keline, five months, outside of the monkey sanctuary. I came upon her watching the sunset and, of course, watching a pack of tourists wander through her village.

The Second polaroid portrait is of Justin, the manger of Continental, the hotel we stayed at on the lake. He is Indian which entailed delicious Indian food with the best naan bread I’ve ever eaten, and upbeat Indian music with dance parties by the poolside.
