Friday, September 3
Today was our final day of the study and my last day in Kpong. It was a whirlwind of trying to wrap up some of the action items that I needed to accomplish before heading back to Accra. It was weird to be done with the study. Initially three and a half weeks seemed like such a long time, but it really flew by! After the whirlwind of getting everything together to leave, the two-hour drive to Accra was a welcome quiet time to process and reflect. I’m going to miss being out in the rural area of Africa. I’ve come to appreciate being removed from the crowded, dirty streets that come with being in a larger city.
After getting into Accra, Brie and I went for dinner and then just hung out in the room reading our books and chatting. It has been so wonderful to have Brie here with me for the past week. We discovered that we are actually quite similar and have had a great time chatting, laughing, and just sitting quietly reading our books. Tonight felt like a girly sleepover, but instead of talking about nail polish and boys we delved into politics, religion, and our families/growing up. Our opinions on things are similar, but different enough to make for a really interesting conversation.
