Hey Folks!

Just throwing some stuff out there...


A good way to keep up with where our trip is an what we have done is by going to the Semester At Sea website (semesteratsea.org). You just go to the site, select the "voyages" icon at the top of the page and then select "current voyage." You can see the itinerary, our position report, and slideshows. And that is why I am mentioning this. I was pretty excited to see that I finally made it onto a slideshow! You pretty much have to be around the photographer 24/7 to get your picture on there (or bring a lot of attention to yourself which I tend not to do). However, I made it! There is a slideshow for each port and they are named based on the event that the photographer went on. The one that I am in is when we went to Morocco. This was the camel trek program I went on which was really fun. I did all the stuff you see in the slideshow but you don't see me until the very end. We actually aren't even on the camel trek at this point. We aren't even in the Sahara. On the last day in Marrakech, which we passed through to get to the camel trek, we went to the souks (market) to buy a rug. The picture that I am in is at the very end and we are getting a presentation of all the locally made rugs. I'm dong my typical mouth-open stare while trying to concentrate on the speaker. And that's my big moment on the Semester at Sea website! Woot!

Soon, we will be in Cape Town South Africa. We just had our cultural pre-port today and tomorrow we will have our logistical pre-port. Saturday morning we will make port. Can't wait to hear from you.
