Tonight I went up to Deck 8 to view the sunset. It was a very clear evening considering the fact that it is the rainy season here in Sierra Leone. To get a better view of the pictures you can click on them and they will enlarge.
We are docked near the large cargo ships. When you look out the starboard (right) side you can see the containers on the dock and the city in the background. On the far right is one of our life boats.
On the port (left) side looking towards the bridge.
On the back of the shift (aft) looking towards Freetown.
The sunsets here are much earlier than at home, near seven every night. You can often find people enjoying the sunset from the dock.
A few of the many people that I have met here on the Africa Mercy.
The two ladies standing on the right and the one sitting inf front of them, they are all three leaving tomorrow. One of the saddest parts of working on the ship is saying goodbye to the people that you work, eat, play and live with.
I will be updating again this weekend with the info on my first week.
