\"\"<\/a>No alarm clock set for this morning! \u00a0Not sure when Virginia got up, but I rolled over and went back to sleep.\u00a0 Next thing I knew it was 8:30am.\u00a0 Must have needed the extra sleep!<\/p>\n

Forgot to mention that there was a rainstorm early yesterday morning.\u00a0 Rain came down fairly heavy for only a few minutes, but there were puddles of water everywhere.\u00a0 There is still a mud puddle at our vehicle gate this morning.<\/p>\n

It was nice to have a little slower pace to start the day.\u00a0 After breakfast, I trimmed a little more on the tree by the front doors of the duplex.\u00a0 Virginia had done some earlier, but with that being one of the possible causes of her rash, we thought it best that she not be involved this time.\u00a0 By the way, her rash seems to be improving, for which we are thankful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>TWR staff is getting a special tour at 2pm of the Logos Hope, which is docked at the south pier of Kralendijk.\u00a0 We Facebook messaged our children, and others, that we would plan to be in view of the coffee shop webcam http:\/\/www.breathebonaire.com<\/a> at 1:30pm, just before the tour.\u00a0 So after a light lunch, we went to town and picked up ice cream cones and sat on a bench in front of the webcam right at 1:30pm.\u00a0 My sister, Lois, took\u00a0 a screen shot of our passing the webcam about 5 minutes early to get the ice cream.\u00a0 Elizabeth and Lois took other screen shots as we sat on the bench and enjoyed our cones.\u00a0 Others made comments on Facebook as well, but none made any comment about our PDA moment!\u00a0 [Spoke too soon!!\u00a0 Joyce caught us in the act! \u00a0[See here<\/a>!]\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At 1:45 we headed to the south pier to board the Logos Hope for a tour.\u00a0 There are around 400 crew on the ship from all over the world.\u00a0 They all raise support from churches or individuals and the usual term of service is two years.\u00a0 Our tour guide showed us their dining hall, a typical cabin (very basic), dining hall, bridge, meeting room for devotions each day and worship services, theature and a huge book store.\u00a0 There are over 5,000 different book titles for sale with over 800,000 books in their inventory.\u00a0 After the tour, they served us cake and drinks.\u00a0 The crew is involved in a large variety of Christian ministries, both on ship and at the ports.\u00a0 Logos Hope usually stays for several days at each port it visits.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
