Well - it seems our time in Ghana is coming to an end - oh! Warren's contract finishes in early April so we had to decide what we were going to do next. He was sussing out other options, and was offered a very good job back in Perth. So after considering all our options, and for various different reasons, we decided it was time to go back to Perth. Which is good and bad....
We'll be happy to get back home and get settled in our little green house again. Believe it or not, I'll be happy to go back to work again!! Having an extended period of time off has been great, but the past few months I've been feeling the need to get out and do some work again - who would have thought! We'll also be happy to have our friends and family around regularly, because you can definitely feel a bit isolated here at times!
On the other hand, we really have enjoyed our time here. Its been a great life experience, and I would do it again in a flash! We've met lots of excellent local Ghanaian people, and have had an insight into their cultures and lifestyle. Its been an eye-opener at times, and we will never take our life and lifestyle for granted again.
So it will be sad to be leaving here in about two weeks time. I told Rita the other day that we were leaving, and she cried and then ran out of the house!! She's been miserable ever since.... Baby Jacinta's mother Asha (Rita's sister) also cried and hugged me repeatedly, and her mother apparently didn't eat for a whole day afterwards! Oh I felt terrible.... Their family has been very good to us, and has made us feel very welcome here.
So not looking forward to saying goodbye in a couple of weeks....
