I only get to see this place once a year or once in two years, and sometimes I wonder how I am able to go a whole year without seeing some of my dearest friends. The internet has surely been accommodating in keeping our friendship going, but there&#8217;s nothing like being in the company of some of your closest friends and family, sharing hugs and laughter&#8212;certainly nothing a bad internet connection can disrupt. Since I&#8217;ve been here, I&#8217;ve visited some interesting places and tried a lot of new things, something I never thought I&#8217;d say after living in this country for nearly all my life, but maybe it was easier then to take for granted the country, and its little gems.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4950 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/2015\/01\/11\/postcards-from-accra-the-beach\/beach-by-armenyl-com\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beach-by-Armenyl.com_-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Sand in Ghana\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beach-by-Armenyl.com_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beach-by-Armenyl.com_-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/2015\/01\/11\/postcards-from-accra-the-beach\/beach-by-armenyl-com-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beach-by-Armenyl.com-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Tawala Beach in Ghana\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beach-by-Armenyl.com-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beach-by-Armenyl.com-2-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>During this particular trip to Accra, I wanted to take full advantage of the fact that I was on vacation and actually do some typical girl on vacation stuff like visit the beach countless times, sleep, eat a lot, go to random events, get off the internet!(I am sorry), go without a phone for a whole week!(This was not purpose, but I love that it happened), and eat some more. I neglected my camera quite often and sometimes forgot that I bought my iPhone because it has a camera. I am trying to remember to take more pictures to share with you all, and hopefully by the time I&#8217;m leaving(I have no idea when) I would have more than one postcard to share with you.
