One week and counting!

Testing, testing, one, two, three. It's looking like this is going to be my website home for my stay in Ghana.

I leave in a week exactly, and couldn't be more excited! Then again, I keep having this thought, and then finding out, no, wait, I CAN get more excited! It seems one of the effects of the trip is the expanding of my capacity to feel emotions.

In one week I get on a plane and fly Miami-Chicago, Chicago-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-ACCRA!!

I find myself with so much to write, but so few words, so I'll end this first entry around here, with just a bit of trivia:

Number of butterfly species in all of North America= 650
Amount of butterfly species in Ghana (roughly the size of Oregon)= 1,000!
