Although it was roughly 90 Degrees outside and I was sporting flip flops and tank tops, the holiday spirit was lurking last week. I spent Christmas Eve at Tendaba Camp, laying out by the pool listening to live shows from this year's Newport Folk Fest (Liz Phair, Neko Case, Arlo Guthrie...), and making Christmas cookies with a few other trainees while listening to Christmas blues music!
On Christmas morning we took a sunrise boat ride across the Gambia River and through the Baobolong Wetland Reserve.
This park is a Ramsar listed Wetland of International Importance. It is a beautiful area that hosts many different species of migratory birds as well as protected plant species.
We explored the salt marshes, mangrove forests, and savannah by pirogue....it was an amazing way to spend Christmas morning!
