My favorite things.........

Since I am leaving soon, I thought I should write about the 10 things I'll miss most and things I look forward to most.

MISS
1. I'll miss the fresh pineapple and mango
2. I'll miss hawkers standing on the street ready to sell me anything I need
3. I'll miss the friends I've made here
4. I'll miss the stress-free enviroment here. NO rushing! Just relax!!!
5. handshaking with a snap
6. seeing people carrying things (HUGE things) on their heads
7. seeing women carrying babies on their backs
8. their accent when they speak
9. having warm weather at all times
10. Craig will miss the Ghanaian food

Looking FORWARD to
1. walking on the grass barefoot
2. drinking from the tap!
3. fresh air (no more smelly sewers, gutters, and burning trash)
4. traffic laws (please we need to have a little sense on the road! no motorcycles going wherever they want and people trying to hit you so that you'll stop and they can cut in)
5. mexican food :)
6. quietness..... (it's very noisy here, all night church services, etc.)
7. people urinating in designated restrooms and not in public
8. no ants everywhere in my house!
9. sunlight past 6pm
10. having water, power, and laundry machines at all times :)

I'll have to post about my last week here. It's def. been interesting and would explain why I haven't been posting or emailing lately. Thank you to anyone who has read my blog and no worries. I have only blogged about half or 3/4 of my Africa adventures so far. I'll do more when I get home and have internet access in my home that is fast fast fast!

We are leaving today and I am soooooo excited to see my family and friends again! Yea, yummy food!!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's over. Time just flew on by for me, how about you? I'm so glad you have a blog that I could look at. It's been nice reading about all of your adventures and learning the African culture. Can't wait to read the rest. And welcome home to all the stuff that us Americans take for granted!
