On Thursday (I think, the days kind of run together), the dependent children's program had a demonstration of fruit carving by the dining crew. The kids were transfixed!
Mid-morning on Saturday, we stopped in The Gambia, which is a very small country surrounded by a not much bigger country (Senegal). We took on fuel and some medical supplies, then were on our way after a few hours. None of us were allowed off the ship, but I did have an interesting view out my cabin window for a few hours since the refueling vessel was parked right there (see below).
On Friday evening, we had the shipboard talent show. The musical and dramatic abilities of our shipmates blew us away. On Saturday evening after a study day, there was the first ever (we think) ship-wide drag show, which was as well-attended and as full of talent as the night before.
The semester is drawing to a close with just one more days until we reach Morocco. Today is exam day for Global Lens courses, broad courses like Water for the World, Human Nature, International Law, of which each student took one to get a comparative view of a specific area of focus. Tomorrow is A day exam day, then four days in Morocco. After Morocco there are just three days which include a study day, an exam day, and packing/convocation. As you can imagine, things have been pretty hectic during both days and evenings. Things were hopping in the library the last few days with studying, materials returns, and end of voyage tasks, but it is quiet today with students taking exams.
