Jan. 8

Our last day in Ghana - We started our last day of the trip off with going to the Ghana Independence Memorial and Museum dedicated to Kwame Nkrumah who helped Ghana gain their independence on March 6, 1957. We then went back to the coffin makers where Stephen gifted us all with woodcarvings silhouetting Africa, which we all made him sign for us. The rest of the day was spent packing and getting ready back at the hostel for the long travels awaiting us. Our flight out of Accra was at ten so we started making our way to the airport around seven where we had a few friends there to say our goodbyes to, including our bus drivers. The airport was a bit confusing, but we all made it to our gate with time to spare. While sitting and waiting, Chris and Tammi handed back to us our applications for the trip from the beginning of the semester. It was a great time to read and reflect how much we’ve learned in the past five months and the memories we’ll have to share down the road (that hopefully won’t have as many speed bumps).
