We have finished our very calm trans-Atlantic crossing, having paralleled the equator in the area of the doldrums. We have had some very good news along the way, little Tomas from Costa Rica, Nani and Teo's baby, had a surgical repair of a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the "wall" between right and left ventricles"). The surgery was on January 31st at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and he was discharged three days later. He's a tough little guy with an amazing disposition (it seems like all those named Tomas/Thomas have that trait.-lol). Hopefully, they will head home to Costa Rica on February 15th.
We entered Ghana shortly after sunrise with fog and smoke filled air. Once dockside we were greeted by a drum and dance group, really nice. Everyone is anxious to head out and explore this new (to us) African country. Linda and I are heading from Takoradi to another town where we will spend the night and next day. Who knows what is in store for us!!
Everything on the ship continues to be exciting, interesting and completely enjoyable.
We will report back in a few days after our return to the ship.
Ciao...Tom
