On our last day in Ghana we decided to go to Cape Coast which is a really neat
fishing town by the ocean. Here we saw big slave castles. My family went on a
tour of one. We went into the auction hall and the dungeons. We also saw the
place where the British put the slaves if they tried to escape. If you didn't
suffocate in there you would starve. There was a huge balcony with cannons on it.
Under the balcony you could see some men and women getting ready to fish. Their
boats were really, really cool. They had all these cool designs on them and they
were really colorful.
That night we packed up and got all ready to leave. But we just couldn't
resist one more dip in the ocean so we had a little swim and then headed right
for the airport. When we got home, I was tired but the trip was really worth it.
THE END
