So I'm going to be honest and say that I didn't like this card initially as I didn't see anything particularly of note. Part of the reason why I don't swap or postcross as much now as I've become fussier. So I take a step back, do something else, change my frame of thought, appreciate this gift in the mailboxand upon closer inspection smiled at this really cool card commemorating the visit
of President Barack Obama to Ghana. Hah!
Curious on why there's a castle in Ghana , my reading turn up the dark history and slave
connotations of this place. Called "the gate of no return" ,this was the last stop and holding
place for slaves on route to the Americas.
Thank you to Kim for this historical postcard.
