Happy Birthday Ghana!

Today is the day that Ghana declared freedom from British colonial rule back in 1957. On this 54th birthday of Ghana, my friends and I decided to celebrate with other Ghanaians in Independence Square. We started the trek there early in fears that traffic would be awful trying to weave through the tons of celebrants headed to the same place. This was definitely not the case. We arrived at Independence Square with about 2 1/2 hours until the celebration started; however, it was interesting to see all the school children preparing for their march they would perform soon before President John Atta Mills. I'm glad we got to celebrate this birthday with other Ghanaians and learn more about this great nation I'm living in for a little while longer!
