Day 26

Sunday May 26^th, 2013

Final day in Ghana.  I was up and went to church.  Everyone bailed but the regulars and blonde Sam.  Richard pulled me aside and thanked me for the phone.  He said he knows it was my idea and that he is grateful.  I felt touched.  I love that guy.  He is an amazing man and I feel like I can’t give enough to him.  I will miss Richard so much.  We sat around the Osda house watching ‘Pitch Perfect’, and ‘Zoolander.’  We were all ready to just go.  The drive to the airport was really sad.  Along the way the road was full of Ghanaians just out hanging out.  It felt like they had all come to say good bye to us.  They waved and smiled and yelled Obruni.  I am going to miss that.  Customs and all that through the airport was brutal and then saying goodbye sucked; especially to Richard.  I feel like him and I are brothers-even more so than my own brother and it was just hard to say goodbye.  I really had to choke back the tears.  As we moved on I became Papa Spence and was in charge of 12 annoying girls.  Okay, not all are annoying, but most are.  We got situated at the gate and I had some CD to spend so I bought a $6 dollar can of pringles.  Security was ridiculous again; we had to walk through and get body searched and carry on’s were searched.  So freaking annoying.  Then I sat by Cassie the whole way and she just kept rambling on and on and wouldn’t take a hint.  She revealed that she is Lesbian and an alcoholic.  I knew one of those.  Her breath smelled so mad; add that to the 4 babies surrounding us and I was ready for bed.  I am so glad I dropped $300 on noise cancellation headphones.
