#monthlytopic of October 2020 - A Quiet Place in Volta region of Ghana.🤐🤐🤐

Like @Zino_ mentioned in her Post about this month’s topic, when I saw the topic as well, my instant reaction and comment was maybe I’ll not participate this month. I live and work in a very busy city. Infact my friend @Velvel agreed with me on this, most cities are crowded and noisy where will I ever get a quiet spot or place???

Well well fortunately for me, on my official assignment and travels,I stumbled upon a countryside. A very nice and quiet village. It’s quite remote but quiet.

It’s a village called Blamazado in the [Volta Region ](http://Volta Region Ghana https://maps.app.goo.gl/HW3XsWSq3UD295Ha7)of Ghana. As a missionary, I was there on an official visit. It’s quite remote and a good distance from [Accra](http://Accra Ghana https://maps.app.goo.gl/ikhGVQD7oP15TnFP6) the capital. The schools are still closed as a result of Covid-19 and this is the view of the football field and classrooms. There are trees around where you can sit and meditate or read or just even relax.

The village itself is naturally quiet as it is sparsely populated. In addition to that the time of my visit was about 2pm (GMT) 14hrs (WAT) so most locals would be indoors as result of the high tropical temperatures.

The trees provides a good shade from the heat of the day so sitting outdoors can be a pleasure. This is a quiet place I found, I plan to visit again this week Dv

N.B

This post is inspired by @HiroyukiTakisawa as a #monthlytopic of October 2020 which theme is a Quiet Place. Please feel to free to use the photo for your recap if necessary or useful.

Thanks for tagging me.

The place looks quite indeed. Great to know that you are a Missionary. That’s a very nice job!

What is the farthest place that you’ve been so far as a Missionary?

Hola @SholaIB aún en los lugares más concurridos siempre podemos encontrar un rincón aunque sea pequeño para desconectar nuestra mente y darle un poco de paz. Disfruta mucho tu retorno a éste lugar cuando puedas hacerlo y guarda en tu memoria toda ésa calma a tu alrededor.

Saludos.
