Good News and Not-so-good News

The good news is I'm coming home on July 24th for about a month. I'm coming home because my best friend Abbey Thomas is getting married on August 12th in Dallas. So I'll be in Dallas from July 24th until around August 17th, then I'll fly to New York, and spend a few days there before flying back to Ghana on August 21st. I am so excited I can't even find words to express it. Seriously, I can't wait.

The other news is that I'm changing sites. It's a really long story, but I've been having problems with the NGO I work with in Koforidua the entire time I've been here, and it's finally gotten to be too much, and Peace Corps wants me to move sites. I don't know where I'll be moving to yet, but hopefully I'll find out soon. I've been really busy trying to find a new site that I like, which is one of the reasons I haven't updated my blog in so long. Sorry.

I spent last week in Tamale, in northern Ghana, and I really liked it. It's very different from southern Ghana, which is like a tropical rain forest, and is mostly Christian. The north is more like the desert, and is mostly Muslim. In the north people are more laid back and less aggressive, which was a really nice change. The culture is entirely different, and it was very interesting to see the changes as I traveled north.

Hope to see all of you soon in America!
