Saturday June 6 2009 Move to Serekunda

Yesterday Justin and I moved back to Serekunda to stay at the same place where Lindsay, Jordan, and Adam have been for a few days called Sunbird Lodge. Since it is the off season there are only a few other people staying here so it’s really quiet and absolutely beautiful and only like a 5 minute walk to the beach! Each room also has a small kitchen which is amazing and I’m definitely looking forward to being able to make my own food again. It was actually really hard for me to leave the house I was staying at in Sanyang since I had gotten so used to having so many people around and having all those kids to play with all the time. I’m definitely going to miss the family when I’m away but they have invited us to stay there again when we are back in Sanyang so I think we are planning on going back for a couple weeks. Since we have been back in Serekunda we haven’t done too much, but we were able to visit the fruit and vegetable market just down the street which I had been looking forward to since there aren’t really any vegetables available in Sanyang. We also spent the day at the beach today and we got to see the local fishermen pull in their fishing net. To start they go out in a big canoe and drop the net, then there are two sets of men, one on each end of the net, and they just keep pulling on the net until it’s all the way up on shore and anything they catch comes in with the net.
