*clutches chest* Ugh my beautiful country! I have recently returned from Ghana and have been feeling nostalgia, so I compiled a list of three things I miss about it.

Before we start, lets enjoy this photo of me in Madina, Accra, holding a fresh coconut.

*coconut water is life  (can you guess the first thing on my list? )

• The quality and taste of natural food
• Having the ability to visit my grandma and other family members on my father’s side
• The waakye joint across from my dad’s house

**waakye is a Ghanaian dish made of rice and beans. I usually eat mines with stew, beef, shito (hot pepper sauce) and gari (mashed cassava).  My mouth is watering as I write this.
