OhMyGosh!
Tomorrow we go early to the training villages. I'm going to Bombako with 4 others. We should get there in the mid afternoon.
Today after training got out we went to the beach! So much fun! Are you kidding me? I'm at the beach in Africa!
But- after tonight we'll be up country so no e-mail for about 2 months... aka- no blogging (i'm so good at this...) But still e-mail me and write me! and Facebook!
Gambia is fun- I'm learning Mandinka, which abou 40% of the country speaks (the majority).
There are HUGE spiders with fangs here. seriously big. and we went to market on Tuesday! some guy tried to sell me ugly belts, and we were called toubab (foreigner) soo much! but i bought amazing beautiful fabric! so exciting!
also: we went to a snake farm and i had a boa constrictor around my shoulders- it was like a 10ft snake!
We're in language class everyday and our teachers are amazing and hilarous. One of them (Babukarr) looks like mini Dave Chapelle. He is awesome.
so yeah.
Fo sama! (Till Later!)
