Given the large number of activities that were scheduled during the trip, it was unavoidable for the team to adopt a rather hectic pace. But there was still time left for each member of the team to explore Accra on his/her own. While some members of the team spend the bulk of their time shopping at the well-stocked art shops, others opted to spend their free times at Labadi beach or with friends they had made over the first two weeks of the trip. Toward the very end of the trip, most members decided to visit the exuberant hair salons that Accra is famous for. As some of the pictures show, the Akron team was a hit at some of these hair salons.

The team was fortunate to tour the Ghana Parliament and also the Ghana News Agency at which several members of the Akron team gave press interviews. Extracts from some of the interview appeared in several Ghanaian newspapers during the week.
