Again another unexpected day.  I couldn't sleep last night so I was up really late.  I actually got up and went up to deck 7 to just watch the ocean and get away from my room for a bit.  I woke up this morning feeling fine but as the day progressed i started to feel really sick.  After lunch my boss sent me home cuz we didn't have much to do and it would be better for me to rest then to stand around in the galley doing nothing.  I felt so much better after i'd slept and taken some medicine.  I think that my body is reacting to the stress of the last few days by becoming physically ill.  wonderful. I felt a TON better by dinner time and was invited to go out salsa dancing.  It was a BLAST!  There weren't actually that many people there but i had a very good time.  It was so insanely humid i had sweat literally dripping off me by the end of the first dance.  usually that doesn't happen till at least the end of the fifth or sixth dance! Unfortunately my camera died but a friend did get some pictures so hopefully they will be posted soon.  Just as we were leaving the song "dynamite" came on and Stefan and I danced around the whole restaurant.  It was ridiculous! and so much fun.
Tonight I also got more lessons in African culture:
-nose rings and ankle bracelets mean that your a prostitute.
-it's ok for two girls or two guys to hold hands, it means your good friends not gay.
-it is NOT ok for a guy and a girl to hold hands.  To African eyes that is as inappropriate as having sex in public.
So folks there's a little bit of Africa for you.
