Final Update from America

I know that this is long overdue, but I have been busy. I did not account for any free time in my summer. I left 3 days after finishing finals and I started work less than 18 hours after I landed back in the US. This past week has been exhausting to say the least.

When I came home, my parents greeted me at the airport with flowers and a card. At home, our family friends joined us for dinner as a welcome home treat. After the short celebration, it was back to the reality of life in the US and the fast pace that I had somewhat abandoned in Ghana.

Before I left Ghana, I was able to spend my final day going through Accra and seeing many of the tourist sights that I put off for the last day. This included the Art Center, Independence Square, and the beach. After a long day in the city, it was time to say goodbye to the amazing friends I made in Ghana. I had the chance to work with amazing interns from the US and incredible Ghanaians. I made a special family over there-Eric, Douglas, Angie, Jen, Meghan, and Grace. Thank you all!
