Now that I have formally accepted my invitation to The Gambia, the race is on to get supplies, learn about the country, and spend time with everyone!
Cool new purchases include a sony world band receiver, solio hybrid solar charger, leatherman wave, and a duffel bag made from recycled materials-yes, it even saved 20 plastic bottles from the landfill!
For those of you who had to look at a map to figure out where Gambia is (I did also)....here are some useful websites that will give you a closer look at the country and culture:

68 days 'till the big departure! I'm so excited but will be sad to say goodbye!
