Christmas in The Gambia

We hope that all of our friends and family at home enjoyed a wonderful Christmas.  We were lucky enough to have some family here with us for the holiday: Jeff’s mom, Diana, is staying with us here in Bwiam for one month.

Alex and Diana have been enjoying shopping for Gambian clothes together!

We enjoyed a Christmas dinner of spaghetti and garlic bread with our friends Robert, Thomas, and Chief.

We had a great time.  We have been blogging infrequently as we have been so busy working, learning, and enjoying the friends that we have made here.  We are looking forward to sharing more stories and pictures soon.
