Changes, changes. (Back in the Motherland)
Gee, I haven't posted in a while, huh? Well, a lot's been happening. I sold my house at the end of December. Then, I travelled around the south again to visit family displaced by Katrina and its aftermath: my mom in Houtson, and cousins in Canton, MS and Atlanta. Specifically, I drove to Canton, MS from Washington. Then I flew round trip to DC for a weekend. Shortly after returning to Canton, I drove to Houston for xmas with mom. I then returned to Canton for a couple of days, then drove on to Atlanta to bring in the new year with family. I then drove on back to DC for a few days, where I left my car, and took the train up to NYC for about a week. On Friday, the 13th, I left the U.S. to return to Accra, Ghana for almost four months.
It feels great being back in Ghana. I caught up with old friends and already met new people. The weather is nice and hot, the people are largely warm and friendly, and I am surrounded by a sea of beautiful black faces. A place to chill for a while. This is exactly what my soul desires right now.
Is this Home?
