Hi all! I've arrived safely back in Ghana from the beautiful country known as Italy. Let's just say I had an AWESOME time, and everyone should attempt to visit this country. I'm not going to re-cap the whole 22 days that I was there...it would take entirely too long, but I will attempt to upload some of my pics. We'll see how the internet connection in Ghana does with my new camera. Cross your fingers!!


This pic is me at the pool at our hotel in San Gimignano in Tuscany. Talk about a sweet hotel...they make their own Chianti wine here, and it is oh, so sweet!

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!
