Kombo - Day 200

Date: March 6th, 2010
Distance: None
Country: The Gambia
Song of the Day: Fulfill the Dream - Minus the Bear

I really haven't done much the last couple days. Mostly sleep, and crawl out to find some food. Being sick is lame. I guess my ox like immune system is still failable.

Finally feeling better in time for a dinner party Conner was throwing. Getting to know him over the last couple of days has been pretty cool. I guess he works in Portland finding housing for the homeless. He also is an artist in his spare time. So he has been working on some stuff around the compound.

I also went out to the beach with Conner, Jeff, Jeff's girlfriend Annie, and their friend Kris. It was a lot of fun. Jeff brought along a frizbee and we spent some time throwing the disk around.

We also had lunch at a beach side cafe. While we were there two Scottish guys that Conner had met showed up. They had just been filming a movie in The Gambia. Trying to help the local production companies get started. I guess they had a dinner with the president the night before, but the guys who were running things couldn't get the movie to play. So all that work and no one saw it.

From there it was back to the place to get cleaned up and ready for dinner. Conner had ordered a bunch of food at a local restaurant. We hung out for a while, and the food was great. The place was run by a ex-pat british lady named Jill. She was really cool. So we had a fun time with people just talking and having a good time.

A few of us ended up back at Jeff's place and stayed up late talking and throwing a foam basketball. Lots of fun.
