Last Blog in Africa!

Hi everyone. As crazy as it is, my one month trip is coming to an end. It literally feels like I just stepped off of the plane in Accra, excited and nervous to start my life here. And that's exactly what I did...I have a life here. I didn't just come to vacation and sight-see...but I lived, worked, and travelled here, and made many great memories in the process.

Today was my last day in the Police Hospital which was very bittersweet. As much as I'm ready to see my family and friends and snuggle in the comfort of my home country, I'm just as sad to leave all of the wonderful friends that I've made here. I spent the day going to all of the different units and said goodbye to all of my favorite people at the hospital. It's nice to know that no matter what happens in life, I have a handful of Ghanaian policmen willing to defend and protect me, and if I would let them, marry me. 

I also took a test for Mr. Vieira to see how much knowledge I gained about HIV/AIDS. The test was actually pretty difficult mainly because he makes it 'tricky' on purpose. But I did fairly well, regardless and am actually surprised at how much I have learned.

This is probably the last blog I will send from Africa, but I will update once more when my journey is completely over and I arrive at home. We're going on weekend trip to Cape Coast tomorrow and then my flight leaves Monday night.

Now I'm off to Global Mamas which is a store where everything is handmade by African women, to look around with Kim! :)

Much love, talk to you when I'm back in the U.S.!
