Goodbye Ghana, hello Rome!

So here I am back in Rome...another amazing trip gone by already and a heavy suitcase full of cloth to remember it by. I'm going to miss my new friends, and old friends revisited from last year...I missed Michelle and Ian and the boys my last week, but was more than happy spending some more time with Trish and her crazy bird (although her car alarm noises at 6am were slightly less appreciated...!) I am already enjoying the lower humidity here in Rome, although it's still pretty hot. I won't miss the mosquitoes, or the whiff and potential danger of open drains - especially when being constantly honked at by taxis when walking around. "Obruni Traps" they call them. And I definitely won't miss the traffic - and the countless marriage proposals. One guy even just approached me on the street saying "Hello, My Wife" !!! I had never seen him before in my life, and reminded him of this fact. To which he replied, "oh, but you could be!" I will miss the mangoes, the pineapple and the pawpaw, but I'm so glad to have good cheese back in my life. And I have a whole wardrobe of new fabrics and bags and jewelry to have fun with. Thank you Ghana, and hopefully see you again soon!
