The last few days have been wonderful.

Relaxing.

We're back in St. Andrews and have been staying at Jane's mum's house (Gran) because all of Jane's B & B rooms. However, we have still spend a fair ammount of time at Jane's (in the afternoon, for dinner, etc.).

Side/Funny Note: Jane's B & B rooms were filled by four crotchety Englishmen who came to St. Andrews to play golf. When they weren't creepin' on the teenage girls in the house, they were hillarious...talkative and usually red-faced from cigarettes and whisky. One was nicknamed the "Brigadeer." Apprently he is really high strung and hearing the rest give him crap for it is something you just couldn't make up. Real life sitcom, I tell ya.

Anyways! Gran is a wonderful woman and her house is in the country and is incredibly peaceful. Her garden is lush and it is so quiet! No cars whizzing by, no distractions. It was lovely.

I began reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini on Wednesday and finished it this afternoon. It has been so nice to have time to read, relax in the sun...alone. A blessing really. Just what I felt like I needed with the upcoming chaos of next week ensuing.

I'm starting to think more and more about Ghana. I am definitely getting excited, but the reality of it being so soon is also really freaking me out. I keep day dreaming about seeing everyone at home, but these happy thoughts are rather rudely interrupted by "oh crap, then I'm leaving again." Surreal. Never fear, I'll get over it when I step out into Accra.

Our friends from Dubai are coming over in a few minutes for drinks and then dinner. (I love the order they do things in.) I've been lazy and reading all day in the sun so I need to shower!

Cheers!
