Hello Dear Reader! As we move into colder weather, I find myself lamenting our trip to Mother Africa. In my last post, I discussed the delicious meal we had at … Well, after a wonderfully restful evening that comes with a full stomach, I awoke showered and opened up the door to this view…

The juxtaposition of rich and poor is something I will touch on in the future but, this picture encapsulates some of the stark differences. For the sake of brevity. I’ll continue on with one of my wife’s favorite places, the BEACH! 🏖 🏝
Our agenda for the day was a simple one: ahead to the beach, taking a short stop on the way to do a little shopping. As was becoming a regular routine, the US contingent met in the lobby, beach gear in tow, ready to ride.
Here are a few pics of the ride/shops…
While the day was somewhat overcast, Upon arrival at Asoyam Hotel and Grand Bassam, the cool breeze from the sea helped what would have (had the Sun been out) been a really hot day. It also didn’t hurt that the scenery was as picturesque as it gets. So many stories to tell about this day but not enough time. Nevertheless, I want you to take in the sights and enjoy. I’m more than happy to answer any questions but my current schedule is keeping me from being as loquacious as previous posts have been. I DO plan on revisiting these posts in the future with additional detail so, don’t abandon me just yet.
Part 2 will dive into an unexpected treasure that we stumbled upon. Until next time…enjoy the pics.
