My first day here has been full, but amazingly good. Breakfast was "normal" minus the milk (that stays good even at room temp) and the hot dogs. (yes, hot dogs for breakfast) The ships tour led me to the most important area - the cafe which equals Starbucks coffee. Get this a skinny vanilla latte = $1!!!
Meeting new people is the part about this trip that I'm enjoying most thus far. From Hawaii, to Sweden, to Australia, to England - I'm learning about all different cultures! Love it!
After ship tours seven of us piled into a Land Rover and headed to Coco Beach, which is about a 5 minute drive from where the ship is docked. I know that I'm suppose to be on a mission trip, but Molly, I couldn't dissapoint your expectations that I'd be partying it up while I was here. ;)
Work does start tomorrow... 6am rise time and orientation from 8am-8pm. Following is two days of being oriented on the ward, as to what African nursing is all about, and then I start my "job." Can't wait!
I've taken pics... will attempt to post later. Love and miss you all!

Wow! Sounds like a pretty cool place. I think that I would skip the hot dogs though. Hope you get a good night sleep for orientation tomorrow:)

ReplyDelete$1 lattes!?! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think it's hilarious that the thing you're most excited about are hot dogs for breakfast. LOL. Have fun partying. You deserve the fun :) I've got a blog too, much less exciting, obviously, but I promised I'd let you check it out when it was set up: http://walkingnc.wordpress.com/
