On another long weekend - the ship has scheduled long weekends about every 6 weeks where those people that do not HAVE to be there for patient or ship care can get a little more of a break. Nicole's birthday was right before one such weekend, so we took a little trip to Kassa, one of the islands, and stayed in a hotel.
 |
| The island in the distance is Roume, the other island I got to visit about 3x while in Guinea. |
 |
| Our little section of beach, but we explored both directions a bit more, having fun playing on the rocks and seeing other MS folk set up in a hammock camp further up the beach. |
It's hard to get enough sunset pictures... In the daytime though, I got to take a run through the fishing village Juan and I had explored on an earlier trip to Kassa. A couple little girls tagged along for a portion of my run, and as a found myself on a road unsure if I was heading back towards the hotel or not, I came across about 6 other girls from MS who were looking for a good place to camp for the night. I directed them towards a good spot on the beach, and they said I was on the right track towards the hotel.

| Our casita for the night |
 |
| When the tide went out, you could actually see all the rocks you stepped on while the tide was in. I managed to swim out to a big rock during high tide, but as the water receded by the time I swam back I ended up scraping my stomach in the 6-12 inches of water over the rocks. |
It was great just to have time to relax and enjoy the scenery, without anything we HAD to do except sleep, explore, eat and read if you brought a book. Although we did try to solve the world's problems one night...
