One Africa
· Although I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Ghana, I do find great excitement in things that remind me of home. The interns all gathered tonight with our coordinators at One Africa, a restaurant in town that has amazing American food. We all look forward to our nights at one Africa because of the great food and not to mention, its beautiful view of the ocean. While I awaited for my salad (very hard to find here), me and Charli had some adventures, as usual. Of course, they were not with out struggle. Before we set off on an adventure to the ocean, I decided to try and conquer one of the many hammocks near our table. Shelby climbed into one like a champ and rested peacefully. My encounter was not as seamless. I plopped into the mesh hammock very ungracefully and quickly became entangled in the netting. Once free of the net, I looked over at my counterpart and saw Shelby resting on her stomach, swaying away. Lets just say I never did make it over to my stomach. After enough hardship, me and Charli took off our shoes, logically, and headed to climb the rocks at the oceans edge. Oh, and not to worry, Mama Theactrice was close behind to snap photos and make sure we did not injure ourselves too badly. During our climb over the damp rocks we discovered numerous creatures. We saw barnacles stuck on the sides of rocks, tadpoles in pools of water, hermit crabs, larger blue crabs, and even black sea urchins. After doing the Jungle Book’s “Bear Necessities” walk across the top of the rocks, we headed back for food. We all ate in silence as we engulfed our delightful dinner. Then it was off to our homestays for a good nights rest.
