It was so exciting, we were told that we were going to arrive a little bit after ten so we all dressed up to get ready to dock. I woke up and got dressed in a skirt and nice shirt and went to deck seven. A lot of people were dressed in African style ( which is brightly colored fabrics and head dresses).As we were getting closer and closer to the dock I could see a lot of people standing there and then when we got even closer I could hear the music! the church was there and they had a jazz band playing a worship song and some people were dancing and singing. Then when we got even further in, I saw a circle of people sitting and playing maraca's and then a few women inside the circle dancing. The dock was filled with so many beautiful people just watching us pull in and dancing and waving. This went on for about an hour or so. It was absolutely fabulous! They just really encouraged me and it made me feel really happy that I was finally in Africa again! In case you didn't know the ship has been in the canary islands for the past month doing some repairs. I was only in Benin for about three weeks , I was really not ready to leave so I'm sooooo very happy to be back!
