I went on a trip to Cape Coast this weekend with NYU...we stayed at the most beautiful beach resort, saw a slave castle, and lounged around for a day.
Yes, I am a spoiled brat. I suppose this is why my tuition was so high...
A few photos...

The slave castle was quite an amazing experience...to see and stand in the places where these people were tortured, raped, and murdered was incredibly powerful for every person on the trip.
We then went on a little canopy walk--hundreds of feet above the ground in a tropical environment walking on makeshift board and rope bridges--one section was broken as a tree had fallen on it. I of course wanted to try it out any way, but everyone I was with stopped me. Either way, it was INCREDIBLE looking down into a canopy of trees. I felt a little bit like a monkey! (But not in the evolution sense, kids.)
We then went back to the hotel, went for a swim, had a bonfire on the beach, and basically acted like little rich kids. This does nothing to disprove my theory.
Enjoy your week :)

PS: I'm feeling MUCH better!
