Is it good or bad that I’m already starting to feel a little bit sentimental here in Ghana? We are already on our fourth week and time is really flying by like the fastest of birds while I’m still in some sort of “we just got here”-state of mind. Everything we do is so interesting and so inspiring and touching that you don’t really have time to reflect that much of it, even if it at times can be overwhelming. I guess it’s now that we kind of have to stop and just take a breath and really appreciate each other and all the adventures we meet here. At least I know I have to.
Last friday we had this amazing “tour the chambre”-party where everyone from each room teamed up and decorated it and served different drinks and played games. It was so much fun. We walked the plank in the pirate room, we danced around the midsummer pole in the midsummer room, and we drank exotic drinks from coconuts in the Hawaii room. I loved how dedicated everyone was and it is such a fantastic group of people here. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend this autumn with anyone else than all these wonderful beings.
ENOUGH of sentimental-I love you all so much-talk and back to the weekend. We went back to Busua to surf on Saturday and came returned to Cape Coast on Sunday. Every time we’ve been going there it’s been kind of a mission. Exciting and really annoying and not so planned stuff always happen (you’ll get the details another time).
That’s the cool thing about travelling though.. You’ll always look back on the craziest and hardest situations as the most memorable and entertaining ones, at least I usually do. And when actually sitting in the water on a surfboard with nice people around you while the sun is going down and some of your other friends are playing football with the local kids on the beach, all the trouble you’ve just been through makes that experience even better.

| Power-cuts are the new thing in our lives, I kind of like it. |

| We found a little DIY-skate pool in Busua where one of the local kids showed us his skills. |

| This beach can be found after a 10-minute walk through the jungle, you never really know what’s at the end of it. I love that walk. |
This week has been packed with super inspiring lectures by Anders Burman who is teaching module 2 on Political Ecology. We have another one tomorrow morning, and then most of us are going on new adventures since the long weekend is coming up. I’m going to TOGO! Stay tuned for more on that.
