Halfway through my shift I get to see alot of cool sunrises

I've been having quite an interesting time out here when I'm not busy working off the coast. I have spent a good three weeks in and about Escravos and a small time in Badagry. Escravos is a bit different from Port Harcourt and Lagos, and it is definately an *oil* town now, with a good size seaport and airport nearby. Both Escravos and Badagry were key ports in the slave trade from what I understand from talking to various people whom I work with and my cab drivers.
