Weather: The glorious winds have really picked up at the beach, and I for one could not get enough if it knocked me over. Winds averaging a steady 35-40 mph last night, a steady 20mph during the day. Hot, dry daytime temps (around 30 C, 86F), and nightime temps much cooler (20C, 68F).

We are in our final weekend in the Gambia-- a lot has happened and in our meeting with other team members, we know a lot more about our next steps in Liberia and beyond.
But all of that can wait. Today, and through Monday, we are still embracing our time here. And of course, we are taking pictures. Here are a handful.
The wind blows all day-- our hangout at sunrise...
... at noon-- here you can see the palms bending with the breeze--...
... and in the evening. I know the shot is cliche' as can be, but it also happened to be the view out my front door last night.
The countryside of Gambia/Senegal is much drier than Liberia.
Noah took this shot of a red colobus while on a four hour walk with his sister and some friends.
He also got this view when a family of vervet monks showed up, possibly looking for a handout.
