Still on the ship

I saw dolphins for the first time on this voyage.  People have been saying that they have seeing dolphins all the time but somehow I always missed them.  Then today right after one of my classes a girl looked out the window of our classroom and there they were.  Earlier today I saw some flying fish.  Some people were very confused and thought that they were birds that were diving underwater.  The food today was really good also.  I missed breakfast but for lunch there was fish and chips (fried fish and French fries), Noodles with Cheese and Garlic (Mac and Cheese), and all the other normal stuff.  I don’t like fish but everything else was good and it was nice to have some French fries.  For dinner we had some kind of pork that was really good, cubed potatoes in a sauce, and spaghetti without the meat.  Also for dessert there was the all American classic, apple pie.  There isn’t usually a line for the dessert but tonight there was. 

In my collage class we are working on collages either from Spain or Morocco (there isn’t enough time to do both).  I chose Spain because I picked up more items that could be used for my collage there.  We are doing an interesting collage technique that I will do my best to describe.  We start by drawing outlines of the picture we want to have for our finished product (I drew a building in Spain).  Next we use tracing paper and carbon paper to copy certain shapes onto different paper that we either made from stuff that we collected or purchased or gathered from the country we choose.  I collected lots of different paper napkins that say different things and have glued them together on a piece of paper.  We then will glue all our “puzzle pieces” onto our collage.  We will finish by painting, drawing, using pastels, and whatever to make it look like a finished product.  I have a long way to go. 

We will get to Ghana in 3 days.
