Going to the Gambia!

Tomorrow morning at 8am I am leaving Dakar to spend a week in Central and Eastern Gambia with 3 of my friends for spring break. We are spending half of our time in Georgetown (or Jangjangbureh) and the other half in Tendaba. The plan is to go visit a bunch of national parks, where we can see chimps, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, and a bunch of other animals. Hopefully it will be fun and beautiful and not (too) expensive. We are going by sept-place (aka a station wagon driven my a man named Doudou) and he says the trip should only take 3 or 4 hours. However, tomorrow is Mohammed's (the prophet) birthday and there are celebrations all around the region, so there will probably be a lot of traffic.

I won't have internet while I am in The Gambia, so expect one big marathon post when I get back to school on Monday!
