The Garden of Eden

That's right. It does exist. And I, Haley Elizabeth Ray, have found it. Those silly theologians think that the mythical and epic Garden of Eden lies somewhere in between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia, but do not fall for their lies! For I have discovered the truth. The Garden of Eden lies in a place, ironically enough, called The Garden in Kokrobite Beach, Ghana. This was the most beautiful resort with a gorgeous house that we rented for 30 Cedi between 5 people and delicious food, even my first espresso since being here (and it was bomb good). This place was great. And the couple who owned it- oh so adorable. She's Spanish, he's Italian. Their little boy speaks English, Spanish, Italian, and Twi. They are the perfect little cosmopolitan family. And COOL too. We were being kinda loud having fun, hanging out in the house when the lady came and knocked on our door. We thought she was going to be upset and ask us to be quiet or something like that. Right? Wrong! She just wanted to bum a cigarette. hahahhaa. I felt bad that we didn't have any to give her, but I was sooo relieved that she didn't come to yell at us, that I couldn't be anything but happy. All in all it was a sweet weekend.

I did a ton of gift shopping. Spent waaaay too much money- but you will all be glad. Trust me! I am already planning a trip back to Kokrobite as soon as possible. We saw this guy Steven from our drum class there with his mom. She came to visit him!! It was so cute. Anyways, I just thought I should tell you that I am back and had a great time. I forgot to bring my list of stuff to write about, so I'll end it here, and maybe post later today or tomorrow or something? Who knows...

Peace out.
