A Growing Sense: November 2008
http://agrowingsense.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. Guinea Took Me Away or Checkpoints and Bumps On the Head. Every shot because of the limited amount of film I had and the cost of developing. Luckily for me, some of my friends took their digital cameras. All these photos are by Alex, Ted, and Tara. Travel in West Africa is a trip in so many different ways. My friends and I met in Kombo, crossed the River Barra on the Kanalai ferry, and traveled to Basse Santa Su which is the biggest town up-country. Rs with bean sandwiches and...

A Growing Sense: November 2009
http://agrowingsense.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. So, after 27 months, here I am. “Hantini” as the Fulas say. “Abanta” in the words of the Mandinkas. My time here is finished. Peace Corps The Gambia. What was it all about? Did I accomplish much? Am I proud of what I’ve done? Would I recommend such a trip? Is The Gambia better off for me having been here? Labels: A Growing Sense. Peace Corps The Gambia. The Gambia Peace Corps. Official Description of Service (DOS). Language training (150 hours) included formal classes in Pul...

A Growing Sense: December 2008
http://agrowingsense.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. Mom and Dad's Christmas Safari. My mom and dad wondered if I was just making-up these weird stories so they came to The Gambia to have a see for themselves. A day after they flew into Senegal, we got the Car from Dakar. We arrived at the crazy-busy-for-pre-Tobaski-travel carpark early in the morning and began the eight hour trek to The Gambia. The road was long, bumpy, and dusty. The car was cramped and uncomfortable. Mom and Dad were amazed by the travel conditions. My paren...

Making a "Mark" in Gambia
http://markingambia.blogspot.com/2009/07/hey-everyone-wow-where-to-even-begin.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Wow… where to even begin…. It's been a while since my last updates, but my life and experiences here continue to go well, Khiva is fine, the weather remains hot, and. THE RAINS HAVE COME! This past week we had our Annual Peace Corps All-Volunteer Conference for Gambia. We had a good 4 days of meetings, seminars and small group discussions, as well as an open-mic night to celebrate the 4th of July. It was a fun and productive time! Hurry up and wait". When not in the fields I've been.

Making a "Mark" in Gambia: It's MANGO Season!
http://markingambia.blogspot.com/2009/05/its-mango-season.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. One of the better aspects of the hot season is that it also signals the beginning of MANGO SEASON! If pictures are worth a thousand words, I think this blog is pretty self explanitory. Posted by Mark Strohbehn. Mark R. Strohbehn. Where is The Gambia? Time in The Gambia. Temperature in Banjul, Gambia. But since I live up-country, be sure to add about 10 or 15 degrees to whatever they are showing for the coast. (even if that seems like a completely rediculous temperature!

Making a "Mark" in Gambia: August 2009
http://markingambia.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. Years have passed into months, months into weeks, weeks into days, and now I am counting the hours left in Chargel. Reflecting over my time here in Chargel isn't easy, as so much has happened during my stay here it's difficult to take it all in. But the work I've done really doesn't do justice to defining my time here, as that inevitably comes down to the interactions I've had, the friendships I've enjoyed, and the relationships that have been built. While I wish I could be leav...
