Some things I like in Gambia

I'm going to let the photos do most of the talking here.

The veggie vendors on the road outside of the market in Farafenni.  I like all the little piles.

This is the initial entrance to the market.  On a busy day you need to seriously push to make it through.

This man is one of the Kola Nut sellers.  He makes people happy all day everyday....except for that day when he announced price increases on the kola nuts...

PC Gambia at the West African International Softball Tournament in Dakar.  I'm in a blue headscarf here.  We are very strong.

Preharvest pigeon peas in my backyard.  Agave sisalana in pots on the floor.  Home sweet home.

My plant baby, my moringa tree, age 9 or 10 months.  Now it is making fruit!  And then i am going to eat it!

My post harvest pigeon pea trees.  Look!  I found basil underneath them.  I had missed walking that little section of path for like 3 months.

This is Omar's Lunch Shack.  The man makes a mean domada and loves Peace Corps Volunteers.  I try to visit him every time I come to the urban area.  I currently owe this guy 10 dalasi.

Carlos sitting on the stoop.  He's grown out of being a little ball of fluff, but is still pretty cute.  He knows how to turn on the charm when he smells cooking fish.

Vacation in Dakar includes legit chicken fajitas.  Legit chicken fajitas.  Vacation!

Dakar is wonderfully covered in spray paint.  I kept driving by this one, lambasting myself for never coming back on foot, until i just had to snap whatever i could get.  Banjul doesn't have this...

Homegrown in Wallalan. All the mangoes are flowering right now in the country.  It's gorgeous and fragrant here.  When seen from far away...they look smokeable.
