On my way home...

Back in Ouagadougou on the way back to Accra to start going to classes again. Overall, the trip has been great despite some minor setbacks like broken down buses, the car accident, having money stolen, and a few unwanted sexual advances. However, highlights included a camel trek into the Sahara Desert, sleeping every night on rooftops under the stars, speeding through Mali in a strange Frenchmans car listening to Coldplay, and hiking in Dogon Country where people live in and and around cliffs. On the way back to school, we are stopping at a Hippo Sactuary in Northern Ghana to see these animals in action (and take some notes for UMD rugby on how to hippopotomize). The loss of money leaves me a little short on funds for going to Niger but maybe once school gets out, I will take a trip...its in the works now. Just about 30 hours by bus and some hippos and I will be home safely (which is quite a feat the way that the trip has gone).
