Deja Vu Dinner? (this Sunday night)

What is that you may ask?  Its when after a few days you come to Dinner/Supper thinking, 'where have I seen this food recently?' then it hits you like Deja Vu...Oh!  Thats what our dinners have been the last couple of days!  (leftovers, repeats, play-it-again...whatever you call them at home)

Flip Flops... They flip and they flop


Today we had our presale briefing and our captain was giving us the rundown on the rules for sailing. My favorite thing the captain said was about proper footwear during the sail, "Flip flops, they are nothing, they flip and they flop". He has the dryest humor ever and is practically hilarious without even knowing it.

Today was our last day to get off the ship and go into town before we sail to Liberia. SO I went out twice. First I went out with some friends and went shopping and ate a bunch of last minutes snacks that will soon be unavailable. Then I came back to the ship, cleaned up a bit, and went out with some other girls for Mojitos and Sushi. Both were fantastic. When we were leaving the restaurant I heard a bunch of people yelling and realized it was a group of guys from Mercy Ships, one of which was my husband. Tyrone wasn't yelling though, he was busy ducking in his chair. I suppose he didn't want me to suggest he come home early, not that he would have anyway.

Thanks to Glen for fixing the steam option on #2 oven, he was just waiting on the part to come in!

The Q

Some have expressed problems with the questions, comments, suggestions entry form so I have simplified it even more, you can find it right on the side-bar on the left hand side.

Thanks for letting me know!

Zoo? Brazilians? Black Sand?

Well now I have some pictures up that I can give you a link to and they connect to the following posts in the past:

In this post Stephanie talks about a zoo that is called Loro Parque which I now have extensive pictures on...this trip was given to Mercy Ships crew for a very good discount, we even had a chartered coach bus for transportation there and back, it was in Porto De La Cruz. Which you will also see the birds that flew around during a show that Stephanie was squawking about.  There are many pictures of Mercy Ships crew at the park as well.  People we see and work with everyday on the ship.

The picture album includes spending the day with our 'just returning with new baby' Brazilian friends (originally met on the Caribbean Mercy) Rodrigo, Tatyana, and Estevam (here is an earlier post that alludes to their return). We rode around with them while they purchased items for family living on board. Things like 1400 diapers to last for the year while trying to evaluate the growth of the baby in order to get the right size diapers for the right period of time.

We also stopped by a nice beach...here the sand is black from the volcanoes. Its natural to them, but kind of weird for us.
