Alumni Ball

On our second to last night the Ship had our Alumni ball. Basically we get to relive prom again and dance all night with our friends. I ate with some of best friends Allie, Emily, Maddie, Lubor, and Peter. The ship gave us special dining and Champagne, we felt pretty fancy. We watched a fair well video and danced for the rest of the night and had a sleepover. Great way to close out the voyage!!

Morocco

Morocco was my favorite country. I stayed in Marrakech for three days with my friends KOB, Lubor, Peter, Allie, and Emily. We stayed in a traditional riyad and visited mosques, local markets, and more. We had an amazing time. The food was incredible, I have never eaten so much couscous in my life!! Everyone spoke multiple languages, mostly Arabic, French, Spanish, italian, and some English. It was an amazing way to end the voyage.

Morocco

First day in Casablanca, morocco!! The weather is balmy and breezy. We walked to the Hassan II mosque. It was breathtaking and we were lucky enough to be there when they were saying prayer. Very different experience.

Tonight we leave for Marrakech. And maybe ride some camels!!

Penguins

We went to a penguin beach near the cape of good hope and frolicked with some penguins! Today we get back on the ship and head to Ghana, time is moving to quickly

Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the most westernized places we have visited yet. My friend Michael has a friend from his home college studying abroad here so he took us around the city to the more non-touristy places. Yesterday we hiked lions head mountain during the full moon. the city was lit up by moonlight. Today we are going to see the penguins that live on the beach here! Then tomorrow I am attending a wedding of some fellow SAS students.

Wine tasting

Today is our second day in South Africa. It is amazing I want to move here ASAP!! Allie, Maddie, Emily, Brittney, many others and I are at a wine tasting. We are visiting four wineries and touring thief vineyards, maybe the perfect day
