Hi
Hi All,

The last day of this Voyage from Takoradi Ghana to Cape Town SA is relatively close to the coast (50-70 NM) The voyage from takordadi to cape town is 2603 nautical miles.
We are ready for 6 days off the ship.
Before we arrive in any port we have logistical pre-port meetings that have to do w/ a number of different topics from safety, money, location as well as health. Traci's crew is now by far the most anticipated talk because they put on a skit or a song or something wacky.
The other is the Cutural Pre -port . In this case we have Archbishop TuTu giving our pre-port. Not bad :)
Kids are doing well and have made some nice friend w/ other kids as well as many students.
Traci is busy w/ the clinic and lecturing from time to time on Peace corp as well as NP info. We hope you are all well as we head back into spring in SA! The stars were out last night we could see Mars burning red on the western horizon

Traci I love the new hairdo! Enjoy your time off the ship and the spring weather! Today really feels like fall weather and the kids are excited to pick apples and pumpkins at Smolak farm. I'm feeling better everyday and loving every minute with little G (as the kids have been calling him). Callum doesn't seem to mind having a baby brother, but reminds me to "put him in the basket" a lot! Here's a note to Layne, Anna, and Dec from Sadie: It was really weird when you kissed the fish! What place did you like best so far? What do you eat on the ship? I miss you, love, Sadie:)
ReplyDeleteHi All and welcome to Capetown; the most beautiful place i've ever been. the contrast between wealth and poverty is sobering. love traci's new doo; still awaiting a photo of johnnie's. don't tell me he didn't get a clip when Dec got the mohawk. heading to Belmont today. enjoy your time in SA and then back on the high seas. love Bump

Hi Everyone, I'm glad you're all having a great time! Your trip sounds more amazing each time I read your blogs. Once I figured out Declan's hair-do I realized how cute he looks and Traci you look great. Your mother-in-law is right you look great in any hair-do!! I'm glad Layne & Anna have made some friends. Have a great time in SA!!! Love, Lisa
