Ghana land of beads
In and around the city of Accra are so many people selling beads that it is truly staggering. From the first day off the plane to the last I loaded myself up with precious precious beads.
The trip reminded me a lot of a Simpson’s episode where Homer goes to a candy show and makes Marge stuff all the candy in a giant overcoat she is wearing. Like greedy Homer I could not get enough of those sweet sweet beads- I was one pound under the allowable weight limit for the plane not to mention the oodles of beads that I had pre and post shipped to me.
Besides enjoying the wonderful hospitable people of Ghana I was thrilled beyond knowing by layers and layers of glass, ceramic and natural beads. Will I ever return to this bead paradise, as soon as I can and I will once more load up on the precious beads. If you are absolutely bead crazy than go to Ghana A.S.A.P. it is a dream come true for the real bead nut.
