Home Again

Coming home has given me such mixed feelings. I had a great trip home and was surprised and elated to see my sister with Cheryl and Colleen in the airport. They had signs with streamers and all and were quite a sight combined with me in the loudest outfit ever. From the airport, we definately stopped for ice cream and sprinkles even though I was already freezing in the weather. I had to get into the car to stop shivering. I am way too accustomed to Ghana's hot weather, as much as I don't like the heat. After ice cream, we went home and called some Ghanaian friends to say hello before going to get food. Haha not that I missed American food at ALL. Best meal of my life. When we got back home, Miller, Alina, V, Tosan and Desiree came by to say hi and it was so nice of them to drive up. Got a kick out of doing African dance and drumming for them and talking about the random noises that people in West Africa make. Made me really glad to be home and showed what great friends I have. Parents came back today and had a small reunion with them. Sometimes I am so glad to be home but sometimes I look outside my window and can't believe that I don't see the lights of Accra anymore. Or that I can't just phone my Ghanaian friends and go over to see them. And that African dance classes are no more and the dances are beginning to already fade from my mind. It is a bittersweet thing to be back in Fredneck but I am excited to see what this summer has in store. Maybe some trips to the beach and a 21st birthday :)
