First Sunday in Benin
We were able to get off the ship today as our paperwork was completed last night. We are encouraged to attend local churches while we are here and a group of us set off to to find a local church that was rumored to have services in English. After wondering this way and that, we gave up and attended the catholic church which was beautiful....but all in French. On the way back to the ship, myself and few other adventurous souls ended up on the beach which proved to be a great side trip as we met and played with some of the local children.

Bonnie, I'm so proud of you, my sister! However, I already miss you and our long cellphone conversations! Sounds like you are already enjoying yourself. Don't get too comfortable over there - we want you back home!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, Glad to see that you found a Church and Glad that it was in French :-).. I am so proud of you. Hope that you were able to get your sleep converted to the new time zone. Miss you BFF and can't wait to hear all about the trip.
