Emmanuel's Visit Day 7: Summer

Today it was time for Emmanuel to go home, so he had to pack and be at the airport by 12:45, because his plane left at 2:00 and it was always crowded at LaGuardia airport.  I helped Emmanuel pack and then we went to meet my sister for breakfast at a dim-sum place in china town.  We took the subway there.  We got lots of everything and then sat in an ally and ate it together.  It was amazing! When we were done my sister said goodbye to Emmanuel.  She was sad to say bye, but it wasn't too bad, because Emmanuel and Ashley were both coming to Santa Barbara for christmas.  All of us minus Ashley got a taxi and took it to LaGuardia airport.  We paid the driver and then got out with all of Emmanuel's stuff.  We checked his bags to Accra, Ghana where he would be landing and then walked him to security.  We couldn't go through so we said goodbye to him there.  Emmanuel thanked my parents for being so hospitable and nice then he turned to me.  He gave me a huge hug and said, "thank you so much for teaching me all you have.  me dor wu".  (me dor wu means I love you in Ghanaian)  Emmanuel had taught me more than I think I had taught him.  I told him, "thank you and me dor wu".  Then he hugged each of us one more time and walked into the security line.  We watched him until we couldn't see him anymore then we took the subway back to our apartment, because we would be staying in New York for a couple more days to hang out with my sister, but it wouldn't be the same without Emmanuel.
