One more note from Belgium

Hey everybody how are you all?  We are sooo busy here but its great and I love it!  Sorry that I haven't sent any real messages since Belgium but we have been working on projects and papers and getting things planned for the Canary Islands now that we are going there instead of Morocco.  Anywho, I just wanted to say one last quick note on Belgium before moving on.  When we were docked in Antwerpen there was a bridge that followed along the side of the river that was just a cool lookout point and had a restaurant on one end.  Coincidentally this bridge was about even with deck 4 of our ship and about 20 feet away.  So the entire time we were there (six days) people were walking along and looking at the ship and taking pictures and it felt a little bit like we were a zoo exhibit lol.  The best part was that the day we were leaving there were tons of people there and even a band!  They waved and talked to us and took lots of pictures--which we totally photo bombed!  The people taking the picture would see us being goofy in  the background and zoom in so that we were in the pictures :)  It was really funny but we seriously felt like we were in the zoo so we came up with a little list of why SAS and the ship is like a zoo and here it is:
1. They feed us basically the same thing every day at scheduled times
2. They train us
3. There is a special doctor always there just for us
4. They clean our cages
5. People always stare at us and the ship
(there were more but I can't remember them right now)
