I'm here in The Gambia safe and sound!

Hello to you all. I'm having an amazing time with all the new scenery, food and language. It is so beautiful! I can't write for long because others are waiting for the computer but I will write more later. I can say that the urban wildlife is fun...lizards on the walls, big beautiful spiders, African vultures circling over head and I've already stepped out in the middle of the night to experience my first rain storm. I am very safe and I'm well looked after. I have no worries what so ever and already feel at home. The people are very friendly and smile easily. I have a feeling that my job will be to write and teach wildlife curriculum. I'm so in love with the idea but we will see if it's to be soon. I'm going to The Gambia coast on Sunday so my B-day will be one to remember. Again the people in my group are all wonderful and I'm happy to have them as piers. Big hugs from Africa!!! Write again soon.

wildlife woman may you keep laughing like a hyena, exploring like a soaring african swallow, and providing strength and closeness to those around you like a lioness.
