We moved onto the Africa Mercy on July 31st and on August 15th (our 18th wedding anniversary) our ship left Togo for South Africa. Before we left the dock we had an 'at sea' drill where we all went to our muster stations and put on our life jackets.

Our dock is now behind us to the far left.
Before we get out to the open sea we have to test the life boats that were on the dock side of the ship while in Togo.

We are enjoying your photos and diary of your trip/ adventures very much. We are learning alot thru your blog and updates. Thank You for this! I totally understand your culture shock, It took us alot of adjustments in Ethiopia, and still after return home, had some hard months..... anyway, we think of you all often , miss you, can't wait to hear your stories in person. be safe. Love the Ortiz Family.
