Our dear readers, this is our final farewell. Tomorrow morning we will head to Accra, and the following morning we will fly home. This expedition has exceeded all of our expectations of learning, adventuring and having fun. We are so grateful for this experience, and at the same time, we are really looking forward to coming home. Here are the top five things we are most looking forward to when we return home:
5. Salads.
In order to avoid getting sick, we had a diet of only VERY well-cooked vegetables and peeled fruit. Mmmm, the lettuce is calling us now!
4. Washing machines.
We have been washing our clothes by hand every night ini the sink. Not that it is that much work, but we're not very good at it, and we have been getting progressively more and more skanky as the trip goes on.
3. American driving rules.
The West African style seems to be just step on the gas and the horn at the same time no matter what happens. we have had to muffle quite a few yelps from the backseat of taxis.
2. Chocolate, sweets, and dessert.
Given the thrust of our research, there have been very few actual treats in our lives the last few weeks! Divine Chocolate here we come!!
1. Our friends and family.
Dear ones, we have missed you, talked about you, and deeply appreciate all you have done to support our amazing adventure in Africa. Thank you for the help with childcare, gifts, emails, and just sharing the excitement with us. We can't wait to see you all and show you our pictures!
