Last weekend we had a short work week. We had ship holidays on Friday and the next Monday and in the Academy we had a work day on Thursday, so it was a great short week. A few of us decided to spend some time at the beach. It ended up with 7 of us going and plans for a great weekend. We left the ship friday morning after a bit of trouble finding a ride, the guy we had called decided to double the price at the last moment so we told him no thanks. A few helpful kids by the port gate helped us flag down a poda-poda and we where off. but first we wanted to stop for supplies for the weekend. We where able to get what we wanted after a failed first attempt. But as we were pulling off our driver was asked to get out of the car and almost arrested, fun times. He was not arrested after 20is minuets of him talking/yelling at the cops we where off again. We made it to the beach and found out that a hut was for rent so we decided to split it between the 7 of us.
This is the hut we stayed in for the night. It was a raised floor with a bed and a light. It was a great place to rest in front of and to keep all our stuff in. The first day was supper relaxing! The waves where stronger then before but it was still great to swim. On the first day there where not many other Mercy Shippers there which is always nice, just cause you spend so much time with people that you need to getaway. There where a few people there but it worked out to be Megan and her kids, who is the family that I eat with and babysit for so it was fun. There was another couple there with their baby. We also ran into a couple from the ship who hung out and ate dinner with us. On Saturday a bunch more people from the ship came to the beach.
This is most of our group plus megan and her kids. We thought it would be fun to bury Clay in the sand. It was till he got bit by sand flees.

Shannon, Gini and I came back to the ship on Saturday night to be back on board for easter. we came back and decided it was nice to have a shower and our own beds to sleep in. We got up and dressed up for Easter. Gini and I made coffee Sunday morning and then decided to take lots of photos.
This is most of the girls from the Academy. They have made this year fantastic!
