Rides Around: Aboboyaa
Traffic is interesting away from home.
It becomes a cultural phenomenon. Think about a New York cab driver’s behavior on the road…see what I mean.
Accra is a city of five million people in the West African country of Ghana, and that is where we are looking in this week’s rides around.
We found an aboboyaa and a fairly disinterested driver. The aboboyaa is a three-wheeled motorcycle contraption used for the delivery of local commerce. Take note of what’s in the background of the photos…the goats grazing and the locals toting wares on their heads.
Ghana is no different; to a local it is normal.
For me, I enjoy the aboboyaa, its driver, the goats, and the vendors.
I enjoy learning from the locals about the trike, eating the peanuts purchased roadside, and laughing w/ my driver about the girls he will not marry.
