| A Real Baobab |
I closed my Bank Account in Ghana today, thus bringing me one step closer to the realization that on July 13th (just a few weeks away), I will actually be leaving this place. In celebration and to get rid of some of the surplus cash I found myself buzzing around Accra with, I stopped off at the best place to blow money in Ghana- Hakim Jewelers. I was in need (read...want) of a talisman to get me through these next few weeks.
After two separate visits and several hours I picked out a nice little sterling silver Baobab pendant. Though, we only have one Baobab that I've found in Abura Dunkwa (they do better in the drier regions), planting and eating Baobab seeds with friends has become somewhat of a memorable experience during my service. A sacred Baobab will be planted at the KSO on July 3rd when they unveil the new murals. I plan to engrave my dates of service on the back as soon as I have access to a Dremel, thank you Jeanine Payer Inc. for teaching me that skill.
