Our First Christmas Married - The Re-discovery of Our History

Thursday, December 25, 2008

Today Brandi and I celebrated our first Christmas together as a married couple! We're in Ghana with no family here but our friends have definitely made us feel at home. After breakfast we drove out to the Cape Coast and toured the Slave Castle. It is estimated that over 2 million people from Ghana were sold or forced into slavery. I will admit that this was an incredibly moving experience and I will share many pictures and stories soon. Much more than I can pull together right now. We were working video and still shots to capture as much as we could.

Until then, I hope that you enjoyed your day and will blog you soon!

Merry Xmas Ross & Brandi.
I'm challenged by your works,
i'm a part-time photographer in Nigeria (Lagos is 45 mins for Accra by air).

Make sure you visit Elmina Castle & Kankun Forest reserves.

Wish you a greatly prosperous 2009
