End of the conference, weekend, and travel

Day three of the conference ended in typical Ghanian fashion.  It started a little late (almost an hour), but everyone was very enthusiastic about the changes to be made, the final presentations, and the business meeting. We left during a short portion of the business meeting to see the local markets sights and sounds. 
Not much has changed from the last time I was at the market, but that rush and mixture of smells gets you very time.  Fresh butchered meat, drying fish, peppers, and spices all mixed together

The conference ended with lunch and goodbyes to old friends and new ones.

Our group took a taxi to Bosua Beach for the Asa baako festival.
We had a great time learning the different styles of music, dance, and fun.



We also got a great recommendation for a dive restaurant with amazing food for dirt cheap.
Some of the best seafood I have had 

A beach trip is how every conference should end!

We spent the last day in Ghana in a few taxis, buses, and finally a plane.
We did have a few hours in Accra and Kai's friends told her about an art gallery exhibit.
It was located at one of the nicest hotels I have ever seen. (The reception said a normal room is $450 per night... And that's in Ghana!) I have now seen both ends of the Ghanian life 

This experience was much different from my clinical experience in 2014. Less patient care, more education, and much different accommodations. 
I am already trying to find ways to come back next year!
