Just a note
to say that we are all sworn in and heading to our villages in the morning. Friday afternoon we got to have a ceremony at the Ambassadors residence. We did some shopping after the ceremony for household goods that we would need in our huts, things like a mattress and a tank of gas and burner to cook with. Saturday and Sunday they left us alone for some free time, which everybody used to buy food, watch movies, eat out at restaurants, and have a little fun. I had a blast going to the beach around 5 o clock on both days to play a little volleyball. The garage here at the house is full of mattresses, water buckets, and stoves, but tomorrow morning everything including ourselves will be loaded in the land cruised and headed up country. Wont be around to talk for a while but have a good Christmas and New Years.
Love You

ReplyDeleteDillon,
ReplyDeleteKeep writing- I love hearing about your adventures and the nuances you are picking up. It sounds like everyone in Gambia is noticing how special you are. Love you! -meg
A little background from my former Peace Corps contact, Leslie Schenk: My friend who was in Gambia is Kate Sallah. She is an extremely tall, white-skinned girl. I think it may have been way before his time. She was there from 1999-2002, and I am guessing that since then, her last name has changed. Anyway, there is always a chance!
ReplyDeleteNow I at least remember posting this, still couldn't find the source of Leslie's quote in my email or FB.
