We departed for Anomabu, a small beach town just east of Cape Coast, on Thursday afternoon via STC bus. Our Thanksgiving dinner was at the lovely Anomabu Beach Resort restaurant overlooking the ocean.
The following three days consisted of relaxing under beach umbrellas, Brian swimming in the ocean and lots of reading. Just like Elmina (west of Cape Coast) Anomabu proved to have an amazing collection of sea glass which we both found ourselves snatching up each evening when the tide was low.
The food was very nice especially when accompanied by a couple bottles of tasty wine. And Ghana continued to give us romantic walks along the beach underneath a dreamy sunset canopy.
On Saturday we visited the Cape Coast Castle and explored around the town. We enjoyed drinks at a local pub, chatted with a woman making palm nut stew and enjoyed the bustling sounds of people passing by.
Sunday came and we got in a bit more beach time before departing back to Accra. Overall it was a pleasant weekend and we both came away without sunburns - bonus!
What's on the menu for Thanksgiving?
Spaghetti in Coconut Juice; comes with ketchup of course!(?)

Goodnight moon.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Great photos! We would love to have a chance to visit these beaches some day. We just moved to northern Peru, and there are beautiful beaches here but very desert like and only green a few months out of the year.
