I mentioned meeting a female student in Cape Coast who was my age and very cool in a past blog/journal entry. As I said we exchanged information, and sometime last week she e-mailed me. I was so excited. I felt like sometimes I would be giving my e-mail out in vain because even if there is Internet access available (which in the cities it pretty much is), I don't expect anyone to make e-mailing me top priority over living their day-to-day.
In any event though Maame e-mailed me. She reintroduced herself in the e-mail and hoped that I was well. I told her that I certainly had not forgotten her, asked what she had been up to, and gave her this blog address. She has not responded back yet. Hopefully, I will hear from her by the end of this week.
Another contact I made I began to e-mail shortly after my return. We e-mailed back and forth a few times, the usual 'how are yous.'
I have to admit, it's like elementary school. Pen pals were really big when I was in elementary school. The only thing that makes my e-mails even more exciting though, is that they are connected to real memories, real stories, and real people that have made an impression on my life.
