This is another picture taken in a Chordbang, northern Ghana. While learning about their village and ethnic group they told us about their architecture being different from all the other groups'. We said that we liked it and they offered to give us a tour of the village. This is just one family we peeked in on.
I guess this is the African version of a double-decker bus. You should notice that there are people sitting under the guys on top. Those "inside" are sitting on boards that are laid across the truck bed. Those on top are just on a steel frame. These vehicles are sometimes know as "death trucks". Maybe you can see why.
This is just one example of a scenic road we took in southwestern Burkina. In this area, scenic roads are the only option. This is a relatively nice road for the area in that it's pretty smooth. Don't get the wrong idea about Burkina, this area is much greener and wooded than most of the country.
