Weekend 3: Lake Bosomtwe

The first stop of the long weekend was Lake Bosomtwe. Lake Bosomtwe is the largest natural lake in Ghana (not to be confused with Lake Volta--the largest  man-made lake in the world!). The lake is situated within an ancient meteorite impact crater. When we got there, we saw a group of fisherman sitting on wooden boards and diving in to bring up fish. Apparently Lake Bosomtwe is one of the few African lakes without crocodiles or parasites. We didn't see any crocodiles when we went swimming......but I'll let you know about the parasites within a month! After we went swimming, we hiked for a bit and discovered mountain-side stations of the cross statues. The best part about our hike was coming across a partially built house. We went on the roof, and the view was unreal.
