Our trip to Kumasi

Kumasi is the capital city of the Ashanti region. It is considered a very important historic and cultural center in Ghana. While in Kumasi, we met up and had lunch with Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright and his tour group. It was a pleasure spending time with them. We all visited the Manhyia Palace, better known as Asantehene's Palace-this is the palace of the highest Ashanti ruler. The tour was very interesting and the food at the restaurant we ate was delicious. Prior to going to Kumasi we stopped in Bonwire which is a known for making the original kente cloth. The young men did an excellent job of explaining how the kente cloth originated and demonstrated how it is still made today on the looms.
