Sky Bar 25

Our family and the remaining students went for dinner at Sky bar 25, the restaurant atop the tallest building in West Africa, Alto Tower in East Dzorwulu. This place is high-end luxury West-African-style: an apartment building with a rooftop pool for residents-only swimming and a members-only restaurant (unless you book in advance with a party, as we did).

Before dinner, Mark and Catherine found a large chair; I spotted the University of Ghana on the hill about two miles north; we looked down on several planes taking off from and descending into Kotoka airport; and we saw a nice sunset from the deck.

We were seated at a long table, and it took quite a while for our dinner to arrive. As the sun set, the lighting got progressively better, and I used my iPhone 6s to take photos of Tracy and students with Catherine. (I wish I had brought my Nikon D50!) As night fell, we finished dinner and headed home while the students lingered. It is a school night, after all!

This was a very pleasant way to spend one of our last evenings in Accra!
