The Gambia is a very small African country and even though you would expect for me to say that they area third world place, I am saying they are very pretty and you'll see what I mean if you visit. If I were to visit Iwould like to take a self tour and try to be a hard core on and off road traveler so we can see everything. The people in Africa are very pretty but as, I said in Liberia, they make me feel sad. I hope you can find a time to see this beautiful country. It will just make you want to go there again.
