Pictures

I uploaded a bunch of pictures for you guys.  This should pretty much catch you up on what I've taken pics of so far.  It spans from Christmas till about now.  I should be headed to Salliyaa this weekend, so this may be the last post for a month or so.  Enjoy!

A picture of the view for hours on our Christmas Eve hike

Our group at some point in our being lost

At the beginning of our Christmas "cruise"

Note the water being dumped over the side of the boat- that's the deckhand bailing out the water we were taking on

Wildlife along the river

Our drivers loading up the cars to drop us off on our site visit.  The driver on top of the back car has on a Santa hat- Merry Christmas!

This is the back of my yard at my house.  The dry palm fronds at the bottom are my fence and the trees you can see are a mango tree and an amazing silk cotton that are growing together.  I've got a great place.

This is another view from my backyard

Some of us outside of the training center

The view from the front porch of the stodge/ transit house

One of the cars ready to head upcountry to drop people at their permanent sites

Another view of the same car- it was definately the most impressively loaded down

While I've been in the city, I've hung out with a couple that moved to The Gambia about the same time I did and one of their visiting friends.  This is from when we went on a hike at a national park right outside of the city.  It was really nice and there were a bunch of monkeys.
