3 Months!

I can't believe I've been in Africa for 3 months! I only have 2 weeks left. I am homesick, but I have very mixed emotions. I hope I can continue to do volunteer trips. I feel like I've just started. However, it is not easy nor cheap to come to Africa to volunteer so I have no idea when I will be back again. I think I can say with 90% certainty that I will be back again!!

I had to wake up at 3 am this morning. Isaac wanted to run some errands in Accra before we picked up Tiffanie, the Occupational Therapist volunteer. We lucked out and got to take the bus instead of the tro tro to Accra. I had enough room that only my bottom hurt from sitting to long. Haha!

I'm excited to have a therapy partner in crime! I can already tell Tiffanie and I are going to be great friends. She is very tired, but I hope I was able to explain some of the things so she doesn't get so overwhelmed by the culture shock. It really requires a very open mind. She definitely has it, but it still takes a few days.

We got to ride in a brand new tro tro on the way back to Kpando! It even had air conditioning. I froze my butt off since I'm not use to it after going 3 months without it. It felt good, but I also disliked it at the same time.

Tonight is a quick post since I'm exhausted from waking up early!

Love, Kari
