We found some really good, authentic Ghanaian restaurants. The restaurants were usually completely outdoors in a beautiful setting:
A fire truck: Drivers are supposed to yield to vehicles with sirens but most didn't and the police/fire/ambulances fended for themselves in traffic.
A visit to the Peace Corps office: 25 years ago, my husband served in the Peace Corps in Ghana and in Côte d'Ivoire so we had to take a picture outside of the Peace Corps office:
Grocery shopping at the chain ShopRite. The store had almost everything we would have wanted in terms of groceries. The brands were different and the selection was far more limited but it would serve its purpose. There were frozen foods, snacks, and juices/pop.
Cereal
Alternative milks
Feminine products
Baking items!
Hot food bar available in the grocery store:
