The highlight of my departure from Ghana is that
Abigail very kindly offered to take me to the airport. I really like Abigail.
She is smart and a very good Resident Director, and in the way to the airport
we started talking about our families, and of our plans for the future. She
travels to the US maybe
every other year, and she has promised that if she comes to California she will let me know so we can
get together again.
Since I am a bit paranoid about catching a flight she picked
me up by 8 am, and by 8:30 am we were already at the airport. By 9:30 am I was
booked, and for the next two and a half hours I cooled my heels walking up and
down the terminal.
From Accra I flew to Addis Ababa, where I had a two hour
layover, so I had the opportunity of buying a traditional Ethiopian lunch box
for Ronnie (a bit of an antique, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t use
it regularly), and eating a traditional lamb tebs dinner, with enjera, using the
300 birrs I had left a month ago. Finally, at midnight, I took the flight from
Addis to Paris .
I should have slept all the way, but I was too hot and couldn’t get much sleep,
so tomorrow I will be dead tired.
