Caro & I with our friend Ivy and her eldest daughter
Today is the day! I am getting ready to head to the airport and fly home! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by! I have enjoyed every minute of my time here in Ghana and I am so grateful for the experiences I have had here and for the incredible people that I have met!
I finished work last Friday and then spent a week travelling to Northern Ghana where I went to Mole National Park. There isn’t a lot of wildlife in Ghana however at Mole they have elephants, baboons, and warthogs! It was an amazing trip! Unfortunately Caro had to fly back to Canada early as a tornado went through her town and did a lot of damage. Many homes were ruined, and hers was one of them so she wanted to be home with her family. My week was lonely without my partner in crime aka “Saraline” but I was happy that she was able to change her flight and be at home with her family during this difficult time.
Yesterday I left my host family to travel to Accra to stay with Robin and Heather. It was so hard to say goodbye to my family. Alice and I spent the majority of the morning hugging and crying. Alice, Hilda, and Moe came with me to the bus station to see me off. I feel like I will be going back to Takoradi tonight and that this isn’t actually goodbye. I will miss them all so much!
I have a long flight coming up and I have fallen way behind on my diaries but I'm planning to have a whole stack to post after the plane lands! I hope you'll stay tuned to read about my last few weeks in Ghana!
Lots of love,
Sara : )
