Two fun facts....

I got to hang out at the Mercure SaraKawa Hotel yesterday and got my first African sunburn of the trip - yup I'm BRIGHT red! The shop here on the ship sells day passes for the hotel's "olimpio-sized" pool. (Pool size is according a website I found with my googling skills.) The hotel is about a 20minute walk from the ship. I found a picture on the internet... it's a pretty sweet place. I had a lovely time with some of my new girl friends - despite the sunburn.







The second fun fact is the French Navy is now docked behind us - this happened on Wednesday. Yesterday they gave tours of their ship, but I was working. So, all I know is 240 sailors are on board, (stat stolen from my good friend Liz) and that unfortunately I still don't speak French!
