Don't you hate it when people blog out of chronological order? Like when they are in Ghana and just celebrated Christmas and then post about their last days in Sierra Leone.
So...about Sierra Leone. We spent our last evening there on the dock as shore leave had been cancelled and we couldn't go any further than that. As much as we were looking forward to the sail, it was a nice opportunity to 'stretch our legs' for the last time prior to sailing for 5 days.
One of the huge advantages to living on this ship and spending a lot of time in West African culture is that our kids have begun to adopt the seemingly innate African resourcefulness and ingenuity. This time it resulted in some stick ball - hitting rocks with chunks of wood found on the dock into the water. Good times.

Some of the Galley crew took advantage of thier dinner break to watch the
sunset before going back to do dishes and post dinner cleanup. |
