Easter Break

This is clearly a miniature hiatus from the Spring Break posts, because I'm SO incredibly behind that I've now reached Easter Break before I've finished telling you about the first one. Curious. I do promise to finish the Spring Break story, but I'm going to keep posting regularly until that project reaches its conclusion (it does have an unusually good ending, so I should really hurry up with tht).

So, we have Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off for Easter this weekend. Nisha, Liza and I decided to go to the Eastern and Volta regions of Ghana and bumble around. We don't have a plan. We don't have hotel reservations. We have a guidebook, a piece of notebook paper with some numbers on it, phone credit and a vague idea of things we'd be super cool with doing. We're aiming to get to THE major Easter celebration in Ghana - apparently it's just an amazing festival/carnival/para-gliding event. We're leaving tomorrow morning around six, and we'll figure on starting to make our way back on Monday. Like I said. No plan. This is probably the smallest amount of planning that I've ever set off with - literally the knowledge that a festival is happening in this region, and that there's a ferry across a river, and there's cool stuff to do in a town close-by ish.

I'm stoked. I'm going to go home, pack up a backpack with who knows what, and go to sleep. I'll let you know how it goes. For real, this time though. We may wind up doing nothing, or doing so much it's going to take another month for me to post about it. Who knows? (that's half the fun!)

oh. and I don't have to speak french on this adventure. I dig.
