Day 63 (friday)

Woke up around 6 for the usual routine. I read for a little while and then decided to iron my clothes. It took awhile so I split it up with some lunch. I finished ironing and Maureen came back to the house as the conference was at break for a couple hours. Today has been pretty low key but I will probably go out for a walk or something so I don't get too fat. Decided to go to gates for a couple of things and Maureen was on her way to campus and suggested that I go with her so I could get a ride as far as gates. I obliged but had to get out a little early because the road was closed (it has been for a couple of days). I had some headphones on and started walking back to the house and I was just about ¾ of the way there when a car stopped, I glanced over and noticed it was daddy (Maureen's campus family) and he offered to take me back to my place as he was heading that direction to pick the girls up from school. I asked if I could join him and he gladly took me to pick them up. They were so excited when I showed up and ran out to hug me. It was so good to see them and they kept telling me “uncle Brandon, we don't want you to leave” and it made me realize that I've only got a little over a week left in Kumasi and I don't think they quite comprehend that. I got back home and finished what Maureen had left for me (she came home to make some food for her mother and took it back to campus with her) which included sliced mangos and fried red plantanes (so yummy!). The rest of the night pretty much consisted of some light reading. My eyes were so heavy that I was literally having to hold my eyelids open (I was trying to get in touch with the parentals with no luck). Then I just gave in and I was out before I knew it.
