This post is a little late as I am a bit behind in our blog posts and I'm pretty fanatical about doing them in chronoligical order-as much as possible anyway! The 4th of July marks a special day in the hearts of our fellow American crew. Independence Day! For the rest of us it was a chance for a nice meal out on the dock. The galley generously put on a wonderful BBQ for us all to enjoy and the dock was decked out in decorations red, white and blue. It was a lovely evening of great food and great company topped off by a very patriotic and heartrendering edition of the US national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner". |

Check out those steaks! |
 |
The food line-corn, salad, potatoes in jackets with sour cream, hot dogs and steaks. |

A picture says a thousand words........ |

Crew cuites-two year old Emma (above) and one year old Violette (below) show off their US colours. |

Our friends adopted kids Deborah and Anna who are Liberian born but very much American. |

The kids having fun with all the balloons. I have no idea why the local Freetown party supplier (I saw the van pull up on the dock) is so well stocked in American party memorabillia. Clue-the amzing amount of Obama merchandise available on the streets! Even the Hope Centre is nicknamed "Obama City" by the locals. |

Bird's eye view of the festivities. |

My attempt at an artistic shot-couldn't quite get the lighting right and there was a big mesh fence in the way! Oh well.....next year! |
