Sorry, everyone, I haven't posted in a long time. I have been exploring something new in the internet world-- Facebook. When I first signed up, I regretted it and thought that I would never use it because it is kind of, well, weird. I decided though that I needed to stick with it and see what it was really like before I gave up. Sooo... that is what I have been doing these last few weeks instead of blogging.
Now that I have some friends on Facebook and even found some relatives that I never hear from, I have decided that Facebook is worth my time. In these few weeks, I have been in contact with people that I haven't heard from in years. That alone makes it worth the time I spent getting it set up and finding friends. Now that I have it going, I am hoping that I will be able to use it, but not get consumed by it. If any of you also Facebook, get in touch. You can find me on The Gambia network (yes, believe it or not, The Gambia has a network).
One of my nephews now wants me to get signed up with gmail so I can chat with him. One thing leads to another... So I now have that account too. Look for ajisuun.
These things are great for someone like me who is far away from family and friends, but I can also see the danger of getting swallowed up in the virtual world and forgetting how to interact in the real one. Fortunately, I have the steady stream of people at my door to prevent that from happening.
I have some other things I want to blog about-- Easter, the clothes experiment and other miscellaneous topics, but I need to work on the photos first. I will be traveling to Dakar, Senegal on Tuesday and not returning until Saturday, so don't expect any new posts during that time.

I was beginning to wonder about you! I know what you mean about the blessings of technology and the balance of not getting consumed...I don't have a steady stream of people at the door, but a very active toddler! =) I'll find you on Facebook...
Have a good trip to Senegal!

Hi Joanne. Enjoyed your ferry blog. Interestingly we have to cross the Niger River on a ferry to get to Tera. I've been on both your ferry and ours and yours is definitely more of an adventure. Ours is much smaller, goes across a small river not out into the ocean, and only takes 5 minutes to cross. Like yours, though, they put as many cars as possible on and sometimes sheep, goats, donkeys, and camels.
