Views of the neighborhood

I thought I would share some views from the Africa Mercy. It's a little different from being home in the USA.

Since one of my first posts was a view of Africa from the New Jersey side, it's only fair to show a view of New Jersey from the Guinea side.

New Jersey is just a few thousand miles beyond these islands.

The Africa Mercy is home to a number of families with children.  A playground is part of decks 7 and 8.  This is a happy active place where kids can be kids.

Here are some views of the Conakry port and just beyond.   It's a busy place.

 This is a view from the Starboard side of the ship.  There is some construction going on in a busy port.

 This is a view from Deck 7 overlooking the Mercy Ship entrance.  The area is well guarded and fenced in.  For transportation Mercy Ships has a fleet of Land Rovers holding up to 10 people (if some are willing to squeeze in the back).
In Africa, there's always room for one more.

Sometimes you need to find a place to relax outside and in the shade.  These are popular spots on weekends.  In the evening a lot of people relax and watch the sunset on this deck or the Deck 8.









We do get to look out over the Atlantic ocean every day.
Since we live in port, there's a fair amount of shipping traffic.  There are also smaller vessels that go back and forth throughout the day and night.

After dinner we can go up on the top deck and watch the sunset.
