It's almost over, ya'll! In two days I will be gone and have begun desperately to try extend my stay. Of course, Liberia would have it that the airline systems are down and I have spent my last day running around Monrovia trying to get my ticket changed. The outlook looks dim so I know I should just enjoy myself tonight.I have to give a big shout-out to friends, new and old (KP, Maya, Debra, Mayumi, Rachelle, Barkue, Nikki, Cypha, Gbanjah, Axel, Stefan, Bill, Musa and Idella and anyone I’ve forgotten!!) who helped make my time in Liberia special. We enjoyed ourselves plenty in different ways on different days.
Tonight, for my last night, some friends and I went to Golden Beach, played tag with the ocean and drank a bottle of wine. The nearly full moon shone down on us and I saw as many stars as I’ve seen in years! I even got a taste of Liberian driving, as I drove around like I’d lived there this whole time, and with no hesitation either despite the crazy way people doh drive there, from Sinkor up to Old Road.
There’s been so much more to do and see and I wish I had the time to do so. Being in Liberia gave me so many ideas about ways in which I can not only help develop my country, but also make a good living. I cant wait to get home and flesh it all out and start figuring my way back home. Needless to say I will def be back to finish what I started, Inshallah! Thank you to all my people who were there to show me a good time, to give me a ride when ride business was rough, who cooked for me, who told me thank you for a job well done, who enjoyed my pics, and who inspired me--this includes all the mother figures that I found, including my own beautiful Mommy who is always championing for me, as well as Maya’s mom Judy who was a good and funny friend while I stayed with them. Thank you all plenty ya! You’re all in my heart right now.
