Swear In

Yesterday we were sworn in as Peace Corps Volunteers in a really nice ceremony at the ambassadors house right on the beach. We all bought the same fabric and had clothes made at our local tailors. The whole event was broadcast on Gambian national television and was quite the spectacle. The next two days are free days in the capital for us to do all our shopping and preparation before we go to village for good. The city is nice because there is cold beer and cheeseburgers, but I'm ready to head back to village and begin integrating...

  1. Congratulations. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that event, and I'm looking forward, hopefully, to a few photos.
