The weekend was spent at a remote camp 100 miles down the Gambia river, which is actually a salt water estuary. It was so beautiful. It was a bumpy ride on some crazy rural roads witha breakdown on the way (standard) We delivered supplies to a school there and took a boat down the river. It was a great experience.
Back in Banjul now, just attended the opening session of the National Assembly. We get to meet the Speaker of the Parliment and the Vice President tomorrow. wow. Both women btw. Also visited with the African Comission for Human and People's Rights. This morning we visited a sacred crocidile pond. I got to pet a crocodile! I didn't even get eaten!
miss you all!

Sounds like a super cool trip. You are really lucky! The Gambia sounds like my kind of place! Keep on...
Petting crocodiles?!? Do you still have all your fingers? Be careful! Post pics when you can.
