田鼠妹Ghana追夢70天 ---15

因為有被蛇咬的恐布經曆, 我變的走路非常的小心. 每次走到細小山路時,Shawn就會很細心的從我旁邊走到麵前. 有天放學,路邊草堆突然傳來沙沙的亂響,1條蛇從我腳邊快速爬過,馬上我就嚇的尖叫著衝過去猛的抱住走前麵的Shawn,他轉過身擁抱著我,輕柔的拍拍我的背, 摸摸我的頭發,輕聲的安撫我.

他的懷抱很寬很溫暖還有淡淡的cologne讓我突然感覺就像靠在Kim的胸前,那種久違的安全感讓我差點都快睡著了.他靜靜的抱著我1動也不動但我聽到他的心跳在快速的奔跑,四周靜靜的,好像時間也在那刻停止了. 突然天空竟然就下起陣雨, 我想也許是上帝看煩了就直接把洗澡水到下來,他就拉著我的手跑到路邊的樹下躲雨.

他的微笑有點奇怪讓我感覺很awkward, 我就猛道謙. 他竟然壞壞的笑著說"miss my back?I'd love to carry u home if u like""oh,thank u so much, I'd definitely give u a pepper spray if u dare…"我也壞壞的笑著回應"Jesus, never mind~!"說完他就非常開心的哈哈大笑,我也忍不住哈哈大笑.

第2天我跟房東借了條細長木棍,因為怕路上再碰到讓我害怕的蛇,也怕繼續給他錯誤signal. 上學路上,Shawn看看我又看看木棍終於忍不住笑出來.我問what? 他說你昨天用pepper spray警告我,今天卻用木棍來證明pepper spray的不存在,你覺的我應該怎麽做? 他的logic雖然很搞笑卻說出我的想法,讓我當時差點就想罵S word!

第9周周5,我的腳全好啦! George是我們認識的UNO雇員住在當地已經1年多,還有1部舊汽車. 他和太太約Matt,Shawn,Megan和我周末開車到Accra渡假慶祝我的腳回複健康.

半路在1個小鎮停車休息,車窗外突然伸來1支小黑手,原來是個6-7歲小男生在討錢,我就給他$1,沒想到馬上就有10幾支小黑手伸過來,我們都滿足了所有的手.但小朋友不知道為什麽不停的回頭叫, 我正很奇怪的想,突然就看到不遠處像洪水1樣跑來超多的小朋友,嚇的我們馬上就開車逃走了.

著名的independence square對Ghanaian就像Independence national historical park對美國人的重要意義.Independence arch刻著"FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, AD1957"上麵有1個有四麵的black 5 pointed star,therefore,independence square also known as black star square.每年獨立紀念日和其他重要慶祝活動都會在這裏舉行.

開車沿著Atlantic coast,blue skies,white clouds,beach,palm trees and castles感覺就像到了加州.1直以為世界上所有的海都是藍色,但在Accra看到的Atlantic卻是黑色,聽說是因為火山灰沉積的原因才讓海水變成那樣的sexy,我們就用最快速度踢掉flip flop跑進海中…

光腳慢慢的走在Labadi Beach,海水衝上來淹沒我的腳又慢慢退回去.呼吸著鹹海風, 我閉上眼睛全情感受和海水跳chacha的快樂感覺.沙灘有很多小洞,長嘴海鳥在四周慢慢散步找食,很多hawker頭頂各種wares走來走去,有玩soccer的男生,還有願意為我們爬上樹摘coconut的小男生.很多金發小孩拿各種小桶坐著玩沙,媽媽牽著寶寶在學走路,聊天後知道多數都是外國使館的家人.

突然,有個亞州女生坐著白馬由1個黑男生牽著繞海邊慢走,超浪漫!別笑啦,那就是我啦! 看到海邊有馬出租我馬上行動,因為在美國我都是在馬場或trail騎馬,從來都沒機會在海邊. 坐的高才能看的遠,馬上就看到不遠處有個topless woman跑進海中,從頭上倒下1瓶酒再張開雙手站在水裏大聲pray.牽馬人告訴我說這是傳統宗教儀式,如果她對什麽事不高興, 像老公不忠誠,就會跑到海裏,希望洗去不高興,重新開始.祝她好運啦!

離hotel隻有1 block walking distance Mexican restaurant吃晚餐.餐廳right on the beach and has a liveband. 坐在靠海邊的位置,邊喝酒聊天邊看show,super relax.我點了當地酒made by marula fruit剛喝像奶茶甜甜的,幾秒後馬上就辣到流淚, 非常好喝卻很容易醉…

不久,the band彈起我熟悉的歌---La Sonora Carruseles.歌手是個很年輕的Latino,演唱前他熱情邀請會跳Salsa的食客上台和他1起跳舞,我馬上就站起來回應了他的邀請,還有1對年輕white couple也站起來.當時我穿著flip flop為了不影響效果就光腳跳Salsa.

跳完後,掌聲口哨四起.歌手就隨現場的熱情氣氛問我們要不要再1起跳merengue? 我們就興奮大叫sure,why not! 現場又是瘋狂的掌聲和口哨. 我站在台上看到Shawn站在不遠處盯著我微笑, 那1刻我突然就像看到當年Kim在學校裏偷看我跳舞時的甜密情節.為什麽兩個完全不同的人卻讓我有如此相同的感覺? 撞到我的眼神後,他就向我舉起酒杯做cheers的動作,我就笑著對他點點頭然後逃開他的眼神不再看他…

接著大家開始跳estas enamorada,Megan最好笑竟然拿著手機跑到前麵拍.跳到中場時, 樂隊裏有人跳出來打非州鼓,超搞笑,這個也竟然本地化啦! 那個歌手聲音很好聽,跳舞很好也很會lead, 讓我感覺好像跟他合作了很久, 長的也很帥, 笑起來的樣子很迷人. Oops~!剛才我喝的酒真的是太猛了,搞的我都開始亂講話啦~哈哈哈

晚餐後,大家決定再到附近的bar繼續玩樂,我的酒力很差,晚餐喝的酒都已經感覺頭痛了, 就沒有參加想直接回hotel休息,Shawn說晚上不安全他要先送我回hotel再去bar.

跟Shawn聊天真的開心,因為他跟Kim超像,喜歡講各種笑話讓我笑,有的要想想才會感覺好笑,有的直接就很好笑. 我1直以為attorney都是很嚴肅不搞笑的,他卻改變了我的印象.

走在回hotel的沙灘.月光下, 看到海上有幾排大石頭, 海水打到石頭衝起白色浪花發出嘩嘩的聲音很有節拍音感. 不遠處有個小山, 黑夜中海上有點點火光閃動, 周圍顯的很神秘.

寫著寫著,突然感覺有點累了,不想再翻了就直接貼當時的日記…

We kicked off our flip flops and walked barefoot on the beach, music and laughter filled the air somewhere. Moonlight, beach, palm tree, ocean breeze, all romantic keywords popped up and mixed with mysterious spell, drawing an irresistible temptation nigh and nigher…

A warm ocean breeze blew the haze in a soft hush over the howling waves and transformed into a peaceful sanctuary, a murmur of the drowsy ebbing ocean floated into the air like thistledown. The beautiful Luna loosed her stunning silver hair lightly on the undulating sea and intertwining fondly around the ocean rocks like a ring, the palm trees cast slender shadows along the stretch of golden sands. A steady droning sound of many people jumped out from the mysterious black sea chanting to me with some weird incantation,like flat wall of woods as the humming of bees came out of a hive,and had a strange narcotic effect upon my half-awake senses.

Never thought I'd be attracted to a Caucasian but obviously I was wrong. His smile knocked me dead and stupefied me completely, his deep soft voice filled with warmth and expression just like strumming a guitar, how dare he swoon me like no other?? My hair tangled in the warm night winds, my mini-me skimmed over the waves like a seafowl,my perfume waltzed his cologne around delicately in the fevered dark. I know I was definitely a bit tipsy and trapped in a fabulous hallucination.

When he cast sheep's eyes at me and said tenderly"I'm so glad u're here…" I knew I was a goner. His hand accidentally or intentionally brushed against mine lightly while walking, my heart ran like an unbridled pony, my hands were frigid with fear and beads of sweat oozed out of my pores. The fantastically world was getting more and more unreal, tension was building, my mini-me was jittering and struggling with the magnificent confusion of the enthusiastic.

I believe I was starting to doze off and leaning over the rail,till an abrupt burst of yells out of nowhere "for God's sake, don't be silly,let him sneak in,u're dead!"it felt like someone hit me in the back of my head with a baseball bat, an overwhelming outbreak of a pent-up mysterious power and woke me up in a bewildered wonder. It's cut short all at once, the low droning went away with a barely audible sigh, the salty ocean smell wafted through the air and rang with the soothing silence. I glanced at the black sea casually, the beautiful moonlight was burning within still, but no one was there…

"Why r u so quiet all of a sudden?" his question gently broke the awkward silence."Oh,I just had a flashback to the moment of exchanging my wedding vows…"I masked it all with a radiantly smile and said in a calm voice, "cool…"he said with a shrug but looked drained.

We stood in silent for a while and then walked back to the hotel in the pale moonlight before the night grows old, no one said a word just like a poem without words…
