Market Madness

Our first excursion into the real Accra took place at the local market. Dodging traffic interspersed between vendors, we observed Accra’s working class of traders. Chickens tied up in preparation for slaughter, smoked fish heads, and rows beyond rows of various goods are available for purchase via highly specialized vendors. Naked babies chasing stray dogs and cats added spice to the atmosphere. Wandering over chasms in the concrete pathways, we got a glimpse into the lives of many working class Ghanaians. This is only the beginning!
