Update yay!

I’ve been here three weeks tomorrow. Three weeks! Three months to go. It still feels like a vacation though. Like; I’m going to go home soon and back to school. But then I realize that no, I’m staying, I have a couple of months to go, about 8 weeks left to explore Ghana and become all spiritual and find myself and stuff. So far it’s been pretty great! The school has been tough, but also very rewarding. The food has been spicy and not very healthy, but that’s okay and I can handle a few spots. The people are very helpful, even though I’ll never be used to the staring. The heat is… tolerable, as long it’s cloudy. Once the sun comes out I turn into a sweaty tomatoface. A SEXY sweaty tomatoface.

This weekend we took a trotro to the Volta region. 7 girls, a couple of Ghanaians, one cute little boy and two chickens tied together, stuffed under one of the benches. After a couple of uncomfortable hours, we finally got to our destination, a gorgeous waterfall! It took a 45-minute walk through a forest to get there, but it was totally worth it. A dangerous journey in a trotro later we arrived at our hostel, a place that can be described as a vegan-rasta-paradise called Roots Yard. Delicious food, freshly mixed juices and chai tea lattes! And then after a relaxing night, we arrived back at the house today, exhausted and dirty. Tonight we also had to said goodbye to one of my favourite Spaniards Maria who is going back home to Madrid. This week a couple of other fellow volunteers are going to leave, but new ones will be arriving too! Fun!

I’ll have to check if I can make some kind of video from this weekend but tomorrow (Yes TOMORROW. I’ve got posts queued for a change) you can expect my class schedule and more!
