Visit to the Logos Hope

The Logos Hope is currently in the port of The Hague in Holland. Since that is only a three hour drive from our house in France, we decided this was our chance to see an OM ship and of course to visit Jérémie! We spent two nights on board. Since I had a hard time choosing pictures I will let the pictures tell the story.

Here we are with our niece, Débora who jumped at the chance to join us. As you can see, the port is right at the edge of town (and it was windy)!

We received a royal welcome.

We brought French necessities to the Frenchies on board.

Visitors get to take a video voyage that presents the ship.

The Logos Hope is a floating bookstore and we LOVE books!

Jérémie gave us a tour of the engine room where he works.

It doesn't show, but the noise this generator made was deafening, and there were three more just like it that weren't running!

Visiting the "gigantic" room of Ruben and Betsy, friends from our church who are also on board. (We couldn't all fit in the room Jérémie shares with 3 cabin-mates.)

We had a suite (and two more rooms) with a bit more space than Ruben and Betsy, since we were visitors! The children thought that sleeping (and living) on a ship was wonderful. Laura and Wesley cried at the idea of going home.
We even got to see a lifeboat drill!!!!

We had a great visit with Jérémie on board the Logos Hope!!!
