Sunday Funday - June 3rd

Today was a free day so I spent the morning organizing and packing for our return to Georgia. Around noon I headed out with Olivia, Katie, Erin, Brennan, Ally, Caitlin, Leyla, and Dr. Okech to Cuppa Cappuccino, but sadly they were closed. Luckily, there was another coffee shop close by that was open. I got a cappuccino and a goat cheese pastry for 9 cedis, which is amazing. They were so good!! The cafe just felt like being back in America, it was a much needed taste of home. It was nice to just enjoy the atmosphere, the great food, and conversation with wonderful people.



While talking to Brennan About how the end of our trip was nearing I think I finally had a moment where I realized I was okay with going home. Not that I want to go home, or am so ready to leave Ghana, but just finally accepting that it's been a great experience, we've done so much, and there is really nothing left to do but go back to my life in America and take this experience with me.

After the coffee shop, Leyla, Olivia, Erin, and I caught a (cramped) cab with Dr. Okech to the grocery store in which he tried to marry us off to the cab driver, Nicholas. So funny. These are the fun little moments I'll remember and miss!!

Back at the CocoGrove I spent the next few hours doing work in my room with Katie before Ginatu arrived with some more garments! I was so excited to finally see my Agora dress made up, it is awesome!! I really think Airee is going to love them and I can't wait to see it in the other fabrics!! After Ginatu, INKA came by and it was just so great to talk to her as well. She really is such an inspiring, fabulous woman and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her! I ended up buying one more necklace from her, for myself this time and she was sweet enough to give me these amazing pearl and string earrings as well. I'm so happy that she and Pebbles will be coming to our farewell dinner!
