Our Tour guide picks us up

We were met at the airport by our Tour Guide who introduced himself as Mensah (his family name).  He quickly organized us and got us on the bus to have lunch before we checked into our hotel.  By  this time we all were starving! When Mensah told us the name of the restaurant, I was a little apprehensive.  Country Kitchen is also the name of a somewhat mediocre restaurant back home. This was not that one!  We were warmly greeted and ushered to a table under an outdoor pavillion.  Our server, Mirta, was charming and heartily recommended items from the extensive menu.

Jollof rice with a red sauce
RedRed
Fried Plantains

and Grilled Red fish was the choice of the majority of the group.  Wonderfully seasoned spicy bites of the food tingled my palate. 

After about an hour we were satiated and ready to rest.  We were informed of a change in hotels, and headed for the SunLodge Hotel which is owned by the tour operator.  At the neat, 20-room property tucked inside a neighborhood, we were greeted like family and shown to our nicely appointed rooms.
