Sightseeing

I spent this Sun sightseeing. I went to the National Museum which has a good display of various aspectas of Ghana history, the most interesting of which is the display on its slave history. There were 24 million slaves sent to different countries, the U.S. included. 15% of the slaves died on these journies as did the crew but from tropical diseases. Warring African tribes turned their prisoners into slaves and traded them for guns and powder to continue and defend their wars.

From there I went onto Independence Square which looks like Red Square, a huge expanse of a concrete floor that holds 30,000 parade participants. On this day though, only the homeless were there sleeping on the various bleachers. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is here. The Square sits in front of the Ocean. I walked back there and took pics. Below you will see these pics of the Ocean, the Square and some taken in the Museum.

Finally, and on another front, my landlady informed me that she was subletting the lower apt to a Moroccan Engineer, which is OK with me. She returned later to say that he had signed a one year lease and his co. insisted that he occupy the entire house! They would move me to another space where there is no a/c. I, of course, told her there's no way would this happen. Recalling that possession is 9/10 of the law, I told her I was not moving for two months and she was beaching our contract and he was inducing the breach. They left and coferred and came back later to say he had agreed to just take the lower apt and I would stay where I am. And so it goes...
