(Notice that this blog post is directly from the diary that I wrote in Ghana. All of my feelings and thoughts is how I felt during my journey.)
Last night I slept great! I woke up at 6 in the morning and as usual I had to rush to the toilet. My stomach is till weird but it’s better than it was yesterday. Thank God for that. My whole body feels better today and I don’t have a fever anymore. Two days to go, then I’m home again. It feels both wonderful and sad. I will certainly miss some parts of this life and I hope to go back sometime in the future. I really want to visit Helping Hand again someday. I would like to do something more. Maybe I’ll get a good idea back at home again. I think I will get even more perspective on things and life when I’m in Sweden again. I wonder how all my friends and my family will see my pictures, and what they think of all of my stories. I’m sure we look at things differently. I hope I can open their eyes in some way…
I feel slow today also. After my breakfast I didn’t feel as slow. Tina and Sylvia came to visit us today to talk to Anna and Madeleine. They are going on a drum and dance class in Kokrobite. It’s a part of their introduction since they have a long journey, but for some reason they haven’t done it yet.
When Tina and Sylvia left I and Anna took Ebenezer and Naphtanel for a trip down to the village and also to look at the sea here in Senya. The children don’t leave the orphanage so often and they really love to walk around and look at things. See something else than just the orphanage. It was really an experience! When we came to the village, we heard drums and I thought it was the school children practising their march again. But I was wrong! There were a lot of adults, men, women and a few children who were drumming, singing and dancing. Everyone wore something red, some of them had a red piece of fabric tied on their wrist. I don’t know what this was about. We stopped for a while and watched it. After that we walked thru the village and a lot of children started to follow us. In the end there was about 20 children following along with us. They were very close to us and tried to hold our hands. We asked them to go away since we wanted to take care of Ebenezer and Naphtanel. But they didn’t want to listen to us. We looked at the small castle near the water and we looked at all the fishing boats!
It was a really, really high temperature today! I was completely soaking with sweat and my hair was wet from it. When we went out for the walk it was not that sunny, so I didn’t take any sunscreen. Big mistake! I got sunburn of course. I’m all red on my shoulders and on my neck… Now my back is really beautiful since I burnt it once before.
Today I finished the book I was reading. It has been great to be able to read a book and think of something else when the journey has been too stressful. It has really helped me to relax. I recommend you to bring a book to read if you are going on a journey like this 
Today I took my malaria pill before dinner, which I don’t do usually. Big mistake! I usually take if after I have eaten my dinner. The dinner today was late and I was really hungry so it made me feel really sick to my stomach. The pill shouldn’t be taken on an empty stomach. I had to force myself to eat some yam and soup. I hope my stomach have plans to be nice to me tomorrow.
I’m going to bed early today because of my nausea. Good night.
