Wow! I can't believe we are leaving here tomorrow! As I am very excited to be hone and to see everyone that I have missed so much I also don't really feel ready to leave. I feel like I could definitely be here for another 3 weeks at least.... But no worries, I will be coming home :)

Today was such a super hot day here- woah dang!!! We were laying by the pool and i felt like j was on fire lol but no worries just me cheeks got a little pink! Thank God for the pool.

On Monday morning we left to go on our up rive trip. We drove about an hour and a half to get to Bwiam, where we stopped to visit a rural hospital. It was interesting to see but was very similar to the hospitals we saw here in Banjul. It was super hot up river so we were all sweating our butts off! From there we began traveling on dirt roads to a place called Tendaba, about another hour and a half away. We stayed at a "mock village" type of place. It was really funny an a good experience. We had zlimited power, a double bed, a d a pink mosquito net! Good times. The next morning we headed to Kwinella, a village very close to Tendaba. Here we toured their health clinic and had a meeting with 5 traditional birth attendants- VERY interesting!

I was not feeling well for a few days- soar throat and stuffed up nose. We were starting to think it was maybe strep but thanks to a ton on EmergenC packets I am feeling so much better!! :)

tomorrow we leave Banjul at like 930 pm and then aerie in Brussels at 5 in the morning. I can't wait to be squeezing you all soon!

LOVE <3
