My time in Ghana is ending soon. I don’t feel ready to leave. There is so much I would still like to do around the office and so many new friends I don’t want to say good-bye to. Ghana and all the Global Mamas family have stolen a piece of my heart. I pray that I’ll be able to come back again someday not too far away in the future. It’s been sad telling people I’ll be leaving soon, and although I am flattered by their sentiments when they say they’re going to miss me, it just makes me sadder. I know my traveling spirit will continue to lead me to other places, and I sure wouldn’t mind if Ghana is one of them. If Global Mamas ever wanted me, I would seriously consider moving here for a couple of years. My heart is torn, but I know it's time for me to go spend time with my family in Nicaragua, after all, they only see me a couple of times a year.
So this Monday will be my last day in the office, and I will get pictures with everyone and endure saying my goodbyes. Tuesday Angelina and I will take an STC bus to Accra. There, I will help Renae develop some floor plans for a new project which I will learn more about when I’m there. We’ll also visit a few places in Accra including a place called “Churchees” which apparently is a Ghanaian “Chuck E Cheese”. Then Friday night at 10 pm my plane will take off. This weekend however we will eat Lobster Thermidor in Biriwa about 20 minutes outside of Cape Coast. Sunday night we are having a going away/early birthday party at Eli’s. She asked me what I wanted to eat and I said groundnut soup with grilled cheese because I don’t know if I will be able to successfully make her recipe once I get back to my kitchen. She said she was also going to make me a cake which if you know me, you know is perfect because you can’t have a birthday party without a cake.
