And alongside the construction were the large, modern, shiny buildings that allowed me to see what the finished products of the construction would be. I realize I didn't even see a fraction of Accra during our frantic search for the MOH and that the construction is just a visual observation of a city that is also probably growing in other ways, but here are some of the images I saw during my "tour":
