This evening we joined the Africa Mercy's nine Liberian crew members in celebrating their country's Independence Day. Liberia was the first country in Africa to become a republic, gaining independence from America in 1847.
Anyway, Chris and Oretha spent the whole day cooking a selection of Liberian dishes, including my absolute favourite, rice and potato greens (below):
Below, African chicken and jollof rice, and a bowl of spicy Liberian peppers:
Below, 7 out of 9 of our Liberians; Wablo, Chris, Gregory, Eddie, Libby, Oretha, and Sieh.
There was enough food to allow Libby and me to plate up more fish and greens for dinner tomorrow! Happy Birthday Liberia. Olly
