This is me at the Amsterdam airport after far too many hours without sleep! I didn't realize quite how scary I look in the picture until I posted it...but I think it's funny.
This was one of the first meals I ate with my homestay family. I soon figured out that it was not customary for Ghanaians to eat together like this (they were just doing it as a sort of introduction to the family) and I ended up eating most of the meals over the next 10 weeks alone, which I was totally ok with. It also is not customary to talk while eating in Ghana (due to the abundant amount of spices used in the food, they are afraid they will choke if they try and talk while eating) so eating alone is virtually the same experience anyways.
Here is a pic of me and the girls at a spot. Check out the gigantic beers they serve here (for only 1 Ghana Cedi too!).
I took this picture while riding in a car on the way to Bote Waterfalls. At first I was like "shoot I think I accidently got those people that we were passing in the photo", but once I saw it I thought it was a really cool pic.
This is Kukurantumi, the town where I had training. It is right before the daily rain...
A kiss for you!

Ciao Diana,
I hope everything is fine there in africa. It seems your are doing great by looking at your pictures.
Today, I went back to my office for the first time after my trip in Australia, and there was your book (sick puppy) on my desk, someone at the lab must have moved it there while I was away. So I thought about you, and our "strange" vegetarian lunches.
I had some trouble with my laptop, so I no longer have your email address along with many others, but I thought it could have been nice (ok at least) to send you a small hug, so I searched for you on internet. Surprisingly your blog was the first hit as I googled your name. Strange ah? Or maybe you have many admirers all around the globe who "google" for you all the time ;-). Anyhow, I wish you the best, and good luck with the high-speech USB.
