A day out of the city and off the ship

Since being back on the ship it has been a crazy few months. It has almost been two months since I have been back and time is flying. This past weekend myself and a few friends went to the beach for the day. It did not disappoint.

We hung out on the porch of a house, pretty much someone from the ship spends every weekend here so they take care of us.

Here are some friends enjoying a chill day.

This is my favorite spot, in the hammock reading.

On the drive back I tried to capture how beautiful it is here, you know once you are out of Freetown.

I love the old churches that line the small streets through villages, they seem so out of place and perfectly located at the same time.

Hope you are all well, love and miss you guys!

This last week

This Last week
School has been going for over a month now and it is starting to feel routine. These past few weeks have been loaded with lots of work and not so many outing because of all the work but that is just how the start of the year goes. I love my class and am having fun with them there is so much work and there is always so much more to do but I am learning to stop and take breaks. My weekend was nice and lazy, Friday night the academy went out to dinner. It was great to hang out with my coworkers outside of school and get to know them all better. It is hard to have different people to work with this year because we all ended up so close last year. I cant think that it will be just like last year I can only hope that we all can become friends and spend this year working hard and having fun. I went with a few friends to the fabric street and found some great stuff. I got some nice fabric that I want to make pillows with, you know when I am an adult and don’t live with mom and dad. I also got some very ridiculous stuff that I plan on making aprons out of, and when I say I I really mean mom. I know I will never wear African cloths at home, I wont even wear them here but an apron can be ridiculous and crazy so that will be a fun project when I am home.

I spent some time last night with my favorite little people. Today was spent having nice coffee at our Starbucks, some time by the pool, card games and wii. It was a nice weekend that actually has left me mostly ready for Monday morning. It’s a nice change. 

These are a few teachers and myself at diner.

Kris and I, I could not have made it through last year with out her and definitely not this one either. Cheers to pacts!

Here is the fabric I scored, I cant wait to get crafty!
