Today is the last day of work for 2007. We're hosting a big crimbo dinner for all remaining NGO and UN folk in town which should be good. I made the pud, vodka jelly and mash-up brownies!
Tomorrow I'm flying to Accra with Heather. We're staying with her close friends in a villlage for Christmas, as Heather was with the Peace Core in Ghana for 3 years. I reckon there'll probably be a 6 hour church service at some point. Then we stay at Big Millie's at Kokrobite Beach for New Years before going-on to Abidjan to catch a flight to Mali. When we get to Mali we are meeting friends and planning to trek Dogon Country followed by the Festival au Desert near Timbouctou. Should be a good break.
It's been a good month with World Aids Day celebrations and the office christmas party. Both great fun with a lot of bump'n'grind going on. I have been acting Country Director for the last two weeks so have been busy closing-up shop before the end of the year.
All the best for Christmas and New Year,
Alex
