Final Europe and travel to Ghana

Sorry! The internet is very spotty in Ghana. I"ll finish up Europe and then talk about Ghana because I'm leaving tonight!

From Vienna I went to:

Salzburg
where I hiked and listened to amazing classical music in the street.

Munich
went to the english gardens, other gardens and some halls, dachau, city tour

Innsbruk
hiked. hard.

Vienna
again to get my flight to Accra via cairo, egypt

The flight from cairo to accra was beautiful- the sun setting over africa was so amazing. it was extended for hours as we flew southwest towards it. as it faded, you could see fires on the ground lighting up (a dark red orange color, not like the lights of the city). Then, when we flew through the clouds as we travelled, the stars emerged, covering the deep blue sky in a wave of shimmering light. stars at 20 000 feet above rural africa are a different experience than stars anywhere else in the world.

Prolonged sunsets, fires and stars at 20,000 ft over Africa...fantastic word painting!
