How long have I been here now...? About 23 days it seems. In some ways it feels like I have been here for longer than that, but at the same time I know it hasn't been that long.
Here is a bit of an update summarized:
-I have finally gotten to know my way around the ship.
-We left Cotonou, Benin on Tuesday and are sailing to Tenerife!
-I get sea sick every now and then. Its not constant, but it comes and goes. I have not gotten physically ill yet, but its difficult to find balance, so I get quite dizzy stumbling about the ship, which causes head aches and slight nausea.
-Work is good, and keeps me fairly busy.
-I fell in love with deep cleaning bathrooms (I found it oddly refreshing and felt a great sense of accomplishment after cleaning every inch, visible and not visible, of the bathrooms on ship), but unfortunately developed allergic reactions to the chemical cleaning products that I used. So no more cleaning. :-(
-I have seen glimpses of dolphins and whales, and we sailed right by a waterspout. Now that was cool.
-I am still not fully transitioned to life here. It's been rather challenging.
-I am so looking forward to spending time in Tenerife and seeing my family and William.
