goodbye ghana!

(at least for now)

so, it has sadly come to my last night here in ghana already... although it turned out to be a day later than planned - and now i might only leave super early tomorrow morning due to flight delays which is annoying.
unfortunately i have not written as much here since i started traveling outside accra, but at least all the photos are there and when im back in rome i still plan to go through my journal and share some more stories! the past few days have been hectic with michelle and ian leaving to canada today too - buying gifts for the whole family and saying goodbye to everyone...although i have already been promising that this is definitely not the end - the trip was like an amazing whirlwind and i very much hope to return soon so i can spend a bit more time with all the projects i only had time to get a taste of!
in the last few days alone I managed to squeeze in a visit to the national museum in accra, learnt to do some more complicated weft-faced designs on the loom, spent some more time with trish and her wonderful collection of west african textiles, found a beautiful ewe kente piece for the CHRRCT archive in london...and even had a couple of outfits made from the great fabric I bought in the market at the beginning of my trip...!
finally a big thank you to ian and michelle - i miss you already!
looking forward to seeing you all again very soon :-)
