I'm still alive and in Ghana

Yes, its true i'm still here. But judging from my blog updates - or lack of - you wouldn't think so (sorry!).

So, its getting to the summer time. It's raining less and less (though there under-going a damn spillage at the moment for 3 days - that was for you dad). I woke up today and had that feeling of camping. When you wake up to the heat of the day and walk outside and smell the smoke of something cooking on the fire; its was Kenkey - lunch for the students at my school. My host-house is also where they prepare the school lunches. It was halloween on Sunday and, with an abundance of American and Canadian volunteers, a party went down at the local bar. There was a banana, a native american, a doctor, that girl from beetlejuice..., and other likewise flamboyant characters at the bar. We definitely attracted attention - whether positive or negative i'm not sure.

I'm leaving to go travelling in 2 weeks. I'll be really sad to say goodbye to everyone in the hills; the teacher, the students and my host-family, and friends that i've met along the way.
