1. I’ve had vivid food dreams that past two nights. In one of them, I was at a mongolian bbq place. The line where you get the stuff started out normal but then it turned into cereal – specifically Lucky Charms and Cheerios – and blueberries. In the other, there was a big bunch of PCVs all together and we were at some party or something. All of a sudden all these huge things of candy started appearing. Like, big bundles of candy bars. Except these were new kinds of candy! I distinctly remember there being black Kitkat bars, a peanutbutter version of the cookies and cream Hershey’s bar and extra tacky Airheads. There were also little pies filled with cookie dough. It was amazing.
2. I’m in Bolga today, goodbyeing (because that’s a verb here) various people – Leon at the bank, Abdullah and Salome at the post office, Dancia and Prospera at the internet. I’m also clothes shopping. For some crazy reason, it is so so much easier to find cute trousers here than it is in America. All of the clothes sellers here have what would be the cream of the crop at American thrift stores. Just today, I’ve found two pairs of jeans, another pair of trousers, a shirt and a jacket. I also also ate some delicious banku. Today is the last day that I will actually be in Bolga. When I leave next Thursday, I’ll only be here to switch from the lorry from Tongo to the lorry to Tamale. It’s strange.
3. I’m starting to get sad about leaving. It’s all this goodbyeing. It’s weird knowing that you’ll most likely never see people again. Leaving the people at school will be the saddest.
4. It just got done raining here, so I’m out! With the postrain breeze, riding home will be nice!
