An eternity, a second, or a month?
Ryan Thalken on Aug 4th 2008
So, the group is finally back in Accra and I has just dawned on me that is difficult for me to grasp how long we have truly been away from home. part of me feels that I stepped off the plane yesterday, another part tells me I have spent years in this country, I think of it though and I realize that a month is both a long and short time to spend here. My mind grasping so much and missing the rest this no dought has changed me.
Matt,
the people here live modestly, most only on one or two Ghana cedis a day. Most who live in the city live in shared mud and cement houses similar to apartments. People who live in the rural areas of Ghana tend to live in round mud huts that are connected to a main court.All those surrounding the court are in the same family. More when I return!

Ryan – Dad and I read your last blog today. I know what you mean about the time seeming endless and then, suddenly, you are nearing the end of your stay. You haven’t left yet, but, perhaps, you miss it already. You passed on some interesting facts about how the families live. I was interested to read that. Well, here’s to a full enjoyment of your last days there. Have fun, and we’ll see you at the S.F. airport. Dad & I are coming to get you so have your stories ready for the ride home! Love you!
