Upcountry
We stayed upcountry for a night on our way to Senegal. Upcountry is the part of The Gambia away from the city and more inland. It is much more rural and many Peace Corps volunteers stay in villages upcountry.
A month into my trip, and I am so glad I have:
Downy wrinkle releaser (suggested by my friend Amber and it I use it all the time- THANK YOU!) Baby wipes and Olay face wipes. Sunblock (given to me by the Leskowski family, thank you!!!!). My skin has been very protected. The one sweatshirt I brought; I have worn it about everyday at some point. Facebook. Not only is it the easiest way to keep everyone at home updated, it is also the easiest way to stay connected with people I meet throughout my travels. My iPhone. It is my calendar, my music, my camera, my notepad, and my mini computer when I have access to wifi. My journal (thank you NBC youth group!) Good travel buddies and new friends I have met along the way.
