Marcus Walton, Peace Corps Volunteer in Guyana & The Gambia

In The Gambia

After almost 24 hours of travelling, we have finally made it to The Gambia and staying at GPI in Kombo area.  I was lucky to have my own room, good to have the last name on the list (W).  Enjoying the shower in my room with no hot water, you sure do not need hot water due to the humidity and heat outside!  I’m at the Peace Corps office where I can store all my valuable personal items and have an AC computer room.  We have one week here in Kombo near Banjul, then off to mid Gambia where PST will officially start for 3 months.  That is when I will be staying with a host family and things really start to happen.  Its very interesting to be here and every minute there is something to observe and experience and this is just the beginning.  I hope to post pictures next time I can come back to the office.  I will have a telephone number hopefully soon and let you know it.  I hope all is well at home!!
