Merry Christmas blurt and a walk down memory lane

in blurtafrica •  3 years ago 

I hope this season finds everyone doing well. I just wanted to send you all a Merry Christmas from @dzigbordi and I. It has been a busy one for me working at the hotel we are fully booked for the weekend. I also spent any free time I had this week dealing with my annual immigration renewal.

Dzigbordi and I will be getting married next month. We will be going to the north of the country to Tamale, where we will do the traditional engagement and then go to the courthouse. My parents are flying in from the US also so there is plenty to do and a lot of expenses.

Taking that into consideration and that I am working today there is not too much of a celebration for us this year. But I went diggin through my pictures to see what I could find for some past year.

Here is this years picture to start with.

Unknown childhood years family pictures for the llama farm in Eastern Oregon, I am the blond boy:

From there I really don't have many pics until I started using a camera phone and moved to Ghana.

2013 My first year living permanently in Ghana. I was recruited to be Santa for a children's School. They were very happy to have a white Santa.

I then took a trip by myself to the Western Region to enjoy some beach time and surfing.

2015 I really don't remember what I did all I have is this bucket full of fish.

2015, I didn't find it too memorable but I think I went to a play from my photographic record.

2016 I went to India and met my mom, sister, my sister's fiance and his family. We went to Goa, then spent Christmas in Mumbia. Lots of good food and fun.

2017 I was visiting my home town in Eastern Oregon, and then I went on a ski trip with my mother, sister, her husband and a good friend from my University days. We stayed a good part of the week at a airbnb in McCal Idaho. We skied, eat well, and soaked in hotsprings.

2019 was a wonderful different Christmas. I spent it with my father, my sister and her husband camel trekking in the Sahara desert in Morocco.

Ghana is happy to have you and it looks like you’re happy to be here too… I imagine the dinner with all those beautiful ladies must have been uncomfortable as hell for you. I get nervous around lots of women😅. Anyways thanks for sharing with us man.

Thank you very much.

Yes there is nothing like open air hotsprings in cold weather. The more natural feel they have the better too.
