And you wonder why I have hippie tendancies...

This probably answers some of the questions you have had all along...how did this hippie end up like this? Well here's evidence where it clearly started! I LOVED my dancing turtles shirt given to me by my pal V before I left to live in the G. It's funny how stretched out our clothing got also! Crazy huh? These pictures just make me laugh!

Saving the world as a Peace Corps volunteer...not so much. Saving myself? Most certainly!

Back in 1993 my world looked like this...

Top picture is in the capital of the Gambia. A bunch of us were just hanging out at the beach. We had a strange Peace Corps assignment in that we could see one another somewhat easily and we did have access to alcohol! Lots of it. How do you like the hair growing out and the hugemongous shades?!?!

The second picture was when the Gambian President was going to "stop" in Lou's village. He basically cruised on through with his motorcade and didn't really stop at all. But do think it's a cool picture of the village and the students.

Lou got a bunch of her pictures scanned and it really was fun sitting down and milling through all of them with her. Oh we had good fun! Here's to The Gambia and here's to our PC group from 1993-1995! We rocked it!

New Cat Pad

It has arrived, the new place for the cats to hang out when they of course have grown tired of the other 800 spots in the house to plop down.
