The time has come for us to leave Ghana and move on to our next adventure. It is amazing how fast the time has flown as it doesn't seem that long ago when Ghana opened it's arms those first few days of September with a huge Akwaaba!
Looking back, it took some time to get adjusted to the way of life here having just come from a whirlwind experience in Kenya. But it wasn't long before we making our way around the country visiting places like the Volta Region, Cape Coast and touting around the capital, Accra.
Ghana impressed us with it's safety and modernness. Ghanaians are very friendly and there is a strong sense of national pride resonating throughout the land.
I will miss the red-red dishes and Brian, the fufu.
To thank TechnoServe and say farewell to the colleagues and friends we've spent the last few months getting to know, we hosted a small gathering at our apartment yesterday evening. We enjoyed the company of about 15 or so folks and wished we had taken the time to have more gatherings early on.
Saying goodbye is always bittersweet because something new and exciting awaits while something wonderful and familiar is left behind.
In Ghana we made fast friendships and formed bonds out of the once-in-a-lifetime experiences shared during the short period of time we were here.
As we move on and go our separate ways, we will forever carry the lasting impressions stamped by our newfound friends and stored in that special secret once-in-a-lifetime compartment in the heart.
Medasi Ghana! You are always welcome in our home :-)
*We are off to Morocco and India for the next several weeks and look forward to sharing our stories and photos with you when we return*
~ Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ~
Love,
J* & CN
