Today was lovely.  I went to a local church...it was...not at all what i was expecting.  What i was expecting was the traditional African church you see pictures and videos of.  Lots of dancing, very loud, very long.  It was a traditional Anglican church.  Complete with the fancy robes.  We were supposed to meet Alvin (one of our day workers) at 9 AM.  We waited for him for 45 minutes, this is Africa people are late all the time.  When he didn't show up we went and found a church and it was uh...not a church i will prolly go back to.  I would like to go to Alvin's real church though.  When we got back to the ship we heard from a mutual friend that Alvin had to leave town because of family reasons, so he wasn't ever going to meet us.  quite sad.
I slept the literally the rest of the day.  Woke up just in time for dinner.
Tonight we had a wonderful group of kids from the Wells Music School in England visit the ship.  They were sponsored by IMAT (some british army something i think).  I believe they were highschool students, they did a lovely performance.  Quite enjoyable.
Goodnight all :)
