Fishing Boat in the Water in St. Louis

On our way through St. Louis, Senegal, Massamba suggested we stop by and see the Roger Ludlowe Middle School boat we had seen the previous week (see blog entry here.). By an odd twist of fate, this was the boat that had been painted in honor of my kids' American middle school.

We didn't think we had much chance of seeing it -- it was the middle of the day, and it would likely be out working the coast for fish. But as we drove up along the river, there it was. It was great to see it in the water -- it had made its maiden voyage the day after we visited it.
