I thought since my time here in Africa is almost half over, I should share what life is like on the ship. I can't believe time has gone by so fast! I feel like I just got here.
My bunk! There are 3 bunks in a row in our room and 1 bathroom. We are hardly ever in our rooms but my roommates are great.
"Town Center" the middle area of the ship on deck 5. This is our local starbucks which is open at least for a little while each day. It's not usually so crowded, but this night we got ice cream! It was a big treat to be eating something cold:) There is cafe seating next to starbucks and upstairs we have the internet cafe and a small lounge area with couches and a tv (usually on BBC news or a football game).
The internet cafe
This is the "ship shop" where we can get snacks, toiletries, Mercy Ships clothes...
On Thursday we celebrated International Nurses Day and all the nurses got to dress up in crazy scrubs and wear fun hats, shoes... These were a few of the more creative outfits. We had a party that afternoon with baked goods from around the world and invited all of the hospital staff to join us. It was so fun.
