So I feel like I’ve been in Ghana for a long time at this point and am finally getting into the groove of things. I can’t even begin to comprehend what all of the things I’ve experienced mean to me, all I know is that this trip has made a substantial impact on my life.
I’m so happy that I came here. At first after arriving I thought I was out of my mind, but I’ve completely found my rhythm here. It’s so strange to think that if I didn’t come I wouldn’t have met Esther or Noah or any of my students who have made lasting impressions on me. And I would have never met Zahiah or Dan or Patricia or Samantha who are some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. Even though some of the chances I’ve taken in the past haven’t necessarily turned out for the best, this one definitely did. I believe in taking chances and following my heart more than ever and I couldn’t be more lucky to have found these people. I am really dreading saying good-bye.
The other day Duda, Kelly, Zahiah, Samantha and myself went on a adventure to see the Tasodo Waterfalls in a local village. These waterfalls are really unique because there is five waterfalls on top of one another and a Catholic missionary on the top. We arrived in the village and had to be ‘greeted’ by the chief. It was so cool, the Chief was a real sweetheart. Before he would let us hike up the mountain to the waterfall we had a little prayer ritual to bless our journey. He opened a bottle of gin and passed around the cup. We were supposed to dump some on the ground and then drink some…..it was weird I’ll admit, but very cool. We then hiked up to the waterfall and it was completely worth it. The first landing was so beautiful, we went swimming and just took it in. It was just the five of us and the beautiful untouched land of Africa. We went up to the third landing….I can’t even describe how beautiful this was. It was an incredible adventure for sure.
My time here is running out much faster than I would like, but it’s been fantastic. My African Adventure has been even better than I imagined it to be.
