Here, hot, and happy

The 17 hours I was on the plane was not the best 17 hours of my life, but it wasn’t the worst either. So-so. Amsterdam was pretty boring and on the flight to Accra I was surrounded by Ghanaian men taking full advantage of the free alcohol. It was pretty funny and I quickly remembered some of the differences between Ghana and Canada—such as not lining up or listening to flight attendants!

Nana Aba picked me up at the airport and I am now at her house, about to go to sleep. Although leaving home is never fun, especially after such a great holiday, I’m really happy to be back. I’ve only got about 5 more months, so I have to make the most of it. There’s so much to do and see and all that. I’m not heading to Kumasi til at least Friday. Hopefully I’ll get this up Thursday.

PS. Lord of War is a good but depressing movie, I slept through Wallace and Gromit, A Good Woman was actually not bad (Scarlett Johansson is gorgeous), I slept through too much of Sin City to make any sense of it (it seemed a bit dumb and overhyped) and Red Eye is decent.

PPS. It’s now Thursday afternoon. It’s hot. Cold showers are a lifesaver. So is David, as I’m sending him this to post.
