I find myself saying "lovely" alot and it's from hanging out with alot of Brits. As in, "That's lovely!" instead of 'great' or 'cool'. Lovely.
Most days I never feel the rocking of the ship until I look outside and see the horizon moving up and down.
I learned how to play Hand and Foot and love it. I will have to teach my family when I get home. Get excited! (it's a card game)
We are dependent on containers being shipped to us for everything we need. Apparently the most recent refrigerated container (maybe from holland?) that has our meat in it has been delayed so we've had hot dogs for the last several meals. We do get out produce locally, when we can. It's expensive and often not great quality.
There are currently 31 nationalities serving on board. Lots of accents, that's for sure!
Because the next field service after Sierra Leone is Togo, followed by Guinea, which are both French speaking countries, the crew is being offered French lessons on Monday nights and I am one of the teachers! It's fun. However, there is definitely a difference between my French (African French) and the other "native speakers' French (Swiss, mostly!) Oh well. :)
Princess Anne from the UK is coming to visit us at the end of the month, so they are spiffy-ing up the ship. (I think she's the sister of the queen, maybe? not sure) The floors in the dining room got stripped and waxed and they look SO good but are treacherous when wet, so slippery! I nearly landed on my behind twice today!
That's all I can think of. I work all this weekend but have big breaks during the day. I think I am going to go take a nap.
Love to all. Krissy
