Halfway

Another beautiful hot day in Ghana and I realize my trip is half over. Where has the time gone? I wish I could stay here forever, but unfortunately for the moment I cannot. I reflect back on the last 3 months and I wonder how much more I could have done and experienced, but I have to remember it was a time of adjustment and being comfortable with things. I know the next 3 months will go by even faster and there is still so much to explore. During this time, I will visit an orphanage as much as possible, travel to the northern region for a safari, and go turtle watching at night. Whatever else I can squeeze in will be a bonus.
I would like to wish everyone a belated merry christmas and a happy new year!!! New years here did not go as planned. There was suppose to be a street carnival in town, but was cancelled due to the elections because of no result. The elections put a damper on the holidays and people were not in the spirit to celebrate or do anything. The results are finally in and people are happy and business is good for many. I hope everyone rang in the new year with lots of excitement and I am looking forward to see what 2009 brings.

Wow! I can't believe you have already made the halfway mark. Time sure flies when you are having fun! I hope you and Sony had a wonderful Christmas. All the best for you in the coming year too. And don't forget to take lots of pics when you go on your safari. That sounds so fun!
