June 10th

So today I woke up at the Akosombo resort and I thought about how this study abroad experience is really coming to an end. It does not feel real because time has flown by. We at breakfast with a beautiful view of the mountains and the lake in front of us and I am reflecting on how great this experience has been so far. I talked to my mom on the phone about coming back as soon as possible. I just felt a certain type of inner peace while being in Ghana that is hard to explain in simple words. Of course it is hitting me because we will be back at Legon tomorrow getting ready to go. I would love to have go to take that boat trip on lake Volta. But anyways we headed to the Dam after eating today and it was actually a very cool experience. Learning about how much energy they have created in this one area and they are able to light up the whole of Ghana and even export power to other places. The way in which it is built also interested me too because because if there was to be an earthquake it is made so everything would not just be ruined. The sad thing about it all was when they talked about the thousands of people who were displaced when the dam came to the area. Even they were to be housed not everyone got the accommodations they deserved because of corruption and money getting into the wrong hands
