Ghana -- Lake Volta

The first photo is actually the river Volta, which has been dammed to form Lake Volta, the largest artificial lake in Africa (in the second photo). My sister and I spent a couple of days here relaxing and taking a cruise on the lake, which was more interesting because of the number of middle-class Ghanaian families out for a Sunday excursion together, than for the ride itself, which was pretty but a little boring after 6 hours.
