One of the highlights of our trip up country was to visit a Fula village. This trio was there to greet us.

The Gambia is predominantly a Muslim country, and it is not unusual to see traditional dress.
Donkeys are kept as a major source of transportation.
The upright log fences are very durable.
Roofing material ready to hand for repairs.
The whole village turned out to talk to us.
Despite many requests from the kids, we had been instructed to give gifts only to the head man so he could distribute them. Pens are very popular with the school aged children.

The Gambians are incredibly friendly and welcoming people.
The "three billy goats gruff".

The radio/casette is modern technology but most everything else is simple.
The kids were very keen to show us around.
Village life is a family affair.
