Marcus Walton, Peace Corps Volunteer in Guyana & The Gambia

Last night in Kombo

We went to visit a secondary school this morning and took a few shots for all of you to see.  Everyone in my group went to the market for the last time before we are delivered to our training sites.  My site is called Serre Sambo which is about 3 hours from Banjul!  I stocked up on body soap, some more junk food, gatorade and some small gifts for my host family.  All the bug spray I bought in the States are for American mosquitos, not The Gambian ones!  I have a few bites on my legs but compared to other PCT’s, I’m good.  I’m in good health here and I guess the only really thing I’m worried about for the next three months is no electricity, running water and trying to sleep in 80 plus degrees in the outback.  Many have done this before so I think I will survive it just fine.  I have tried to text some of you and for some reason, it will not deliver it to the States.  I’ll try to find some free time to write letters and would be happy to receive some as well.  Please remember to write my name and then PST.  This is the really official last post here until training ends for the next 2.5 months.    PEACE TO ALL
