Yesterday Justin and I decided to head to the beach since it was our first free weekend in Banjul and our first real chance to just relax by the water. We met up with the peacecorps volunteer, Tammy, down on the beach for some lunch and she introduced us to a few of the locals who work at the beach bars. As we were about to leave we ran into Kebas and he invited us to have a JulBrew with him at his beach bar. A few hours later we were still sitting there listening to his stories of when he was in India attending college and the struggles he went through dealing with a new culture. He mentioned that if he had been given the opportunity he would have left the day he got there, however the experiences he had were a very important part of his life. It was so interesting to be able to sit with him and hear his stories and how he overcame any problems that arose while he was in another country.
