to begin my blog, i'd like to post a few pictures from my send-off party, in hopes that i get the hang of this "blog" business. i'm not too sure how i feel about this business of "blog", but i think it will be the easiest way to share my stories and pictures with you from overseas. and we begin.
most of you probably attended my cleverly named "going, going, ghana!" party (thank you christopher for your witty puns), and even if you didn't, it's fairly self-explanatory... so i'll just recap some of the highlights.
most everyone came dressed in "african" garb, which meant different things to everyone.
there were african treats, and african beats... and even a mosquito net to set the stage. planet earth was showcasing some amazing african photography, and there was an intimate musical performance by my brothers, as promised. 
and although their acoustic-thrown-together-last-minute version of "circle of life" and "the lion sleeps tonight" was pretty awesome, the apes parading through the jungles in the background, on the big-screen tv, definitely stole the show. we had an authentic djembe african drum, thanks to my dad, that was mostly explored by my nephew henry. 
the delicious "we're GHANA miss you!" cake was created by rachel, who came dressed as the ghana flag. this was awesome, and reminded me of my italian flag costume i made extremely last-minute for an olympics party, circa 2006. 
all in all, it was a great party! i had a blast, and i hope you all did too. thanks again for coming to help celebrate with me, and for all of your love and support along the way.
talk to you all from GHANA! peace out for now!!
