stuck on the ship in Marseille :(

July 24, 2013: Marseille
I didn’t get off the ship today. We had a Child Safeguarding training at 1 and I wanted to sleep in a bit, so there wasn’t enough time to take the shuttle 20 minutes to town and 20 minutes back. Not fun. So, I ended up reading/sleeping most of the day. I had meals at least, but other than that I just read and slept until work. The training was basically common sense for those of us that work with kids: tell each other if a child is acting strangely, don’t let kids sit in our laps, use the rule of 3 for trips to the restrooms, etc. I bet it was kind of annoying to Security though, since most of the situations we were supposed to discuss in groups were Club HAL situations.

It was Pirate Night in the kids room! Fun and exciting times were had by all. It went well I think, we only had 6 which helped. We gave them face paint, had them make a sign and hats, made a treasure map of our own, read a story, then went off on our treasure hunt because the awful Pirate Pete (from the story) had stolen our treasure chest when we weren’t looking! It was a short treasure hunt but they loved it anyway. They all behaved as well, which is odd but great!
