What day is it? We've just landed in Africa - Dakar, Senegal - to pick up some passengers and change crews. One hour layover. Uh oh. There's a problem with the plane...A chunk of ice went into the engine and broke a propeller blade. It looks like we're spending the night in Senegal.

12:15 PM: My feet just hit African soil! It's 80 degress : )

Whew, after a bit of a wait, we deplaned and went through customs.
Our 25 suitcases are staying on the plane. Yay!

The hotel is old, but just fine, right on the beach.

2:00 PM: Lunch buffet in the hotel - rice, potatoes, cumumber salad.

3:00 PM: Hilary, Mary, and I are relaxing by the pool drinking a Special. The others eventually joined us. Here some of us are...

8:00 PM: Dinner buffet at the hotel. Pretty much the same as lunch, but there was the addition of fresh fish. Quite tasty.

After a walk out to the ocean, it was an early evening, due to the 6 AM ride to the airport. Johannesburg tomorow! Yippee!
