Writing a blog about my experiences in Africa seems weird to me. I did so much there and there is so much to say about all that, but it’s odd to be writing about it from my own house in America. The things that happened don’t really seem like they happened to me. I don’t feel like I said good bye to Charles and Nat just 34 hours ago, it seems to me as if the whole thing was like a dream.

But that’s just about enough of that!

I really got a kick out of the trip’s second half. Mole had more of the rugged, outdoorsy feel that I thought the whole trip outside of Accra would be. Seeing elephants, bush boks and the occasional baboon hell bent on getting some food, was way more exciting to me than sitting in the bus or going shopping.

Tamale was a real neat and unique city, due to it’s high number of bicycles, Muslims and motorcycles. The shea butter village tour was my only real interactive experience with a village like that and i loved getting to mix shea butter, feed goats and ride a bike around.

Niii and Charles were great both as guides and as friends throughout the trip. Nat was an amazing driver and his enthusiasm for everything was awesome.

Goodbye AfriPeace Blog. Thanks for reading!
