The Ramblings Of an African God...or so they say

For the past 5 weeks, i have been doing......lord....what have i not been doing!! My crew..aka the awesome people that are Natural Resource Management, and we traveled around in a big peace corps bus all around the country. our first stop....Brong Afafo region....Techiman. Techiman is home to the largest outside market in West Africa....Of course it was not going on while we were there, but that's OK. Here we stayed at one of the most wonderful places i have ever stayed....It is home to Monks and set in the most beautiful place. There were massive rocks to climb on and views to die for if you can reach the top. Here we learned about how to make soap, cultivate mushrooms and learn that monks really do like it quiet...and well we, might not have been the best guests in that way...Sorry monks! We than got into the bus again and made an 8 hour trip up to the upper east region, to a town called Bolgatanga. There we stayed at a spiritual retreat that was very nice, had some good times there....poker nights.....water sachet fights and quality time with the donkeys. Here we learned about bee keeping, NGOs, GoGs, Rabbit rearing (gulp....Scary rabbits), and some other things that i really cant remember at this time.... From here we went to Tamale, which is in the northern region. The was the nicest place that we stayed....it was almost cruel to house us here cause we are not going to be living that nice for a loooonnnnggggg time! Here we learned about Vetiver grass...which is this amazing grass that cures cancer ( not really, but man does this stuff help the world...almost as good as Morianga) you should look up both of these plants, cause they are amazing! We got to meet a lot of current volunteers which was nice! than we got back onto the bus for the last time and made our 10 hour journey back to home stay in Maase, Eastern region. So thats where i am right now, freaking out about an exam that i have this wend. to see how well i know my language.... Oye!!!!!!!! Also only 9 days till i swear in as an official peace corps  volunteer! gonna be good times!!!!!!!!!!
