here comes the sun -- senegal

we are currently bunkered in dakar, senegal refueling and its the most beautiful day! we are further south now than we were when we left the bahamas and the bathing suits are back out. it seems everyone's days revolve around when they can make it out to the pool/deck. i was just up there but had to come back to my room to review for my quiz at 1455! i am loving the sunshine! its like summer! i won't drag on about it for too long, i know most of you are still enduring snow and cold temperatures. tomorrow is most definitely neptune day and everyone is apprehensive-- we don't know what to expect! i'm excited to see who shaves their heads but i am most definitely not going to be one of them. this morning, after global studies, we had to fill out immigration forms for our next points. boy were they a pain! there was a special slide show on the tv's detailing exactly what to write. some countries are very strict! the strangest form was for india-- they wanted to know what type of electronics we would be taking off the ship for sight-seeing. so we had to write down the model number, approximate price &a description. very strange, but we did it anyways. i think i'm all set, they will let us know if we somehow messed them up. tonight, at snack time, a bunch of kids from my floor are planning on playing scrabble-- i'm excited! i wish i had the scrabble dictionary with me! haha.

alright, enough procrastinating. heading upstairs to read.
enjoy your sunday morning!


ps. the music on the tv has now been changed to some very odd techno. i would almost say that i want the backstreet boys back!
