Being a Peace Corps Volunteer offers you the rare opportunity to feel as if you are part of a different culture. Drop In Tourists typically do not stay in a country long enough to feel comfortable leaving the Beaten Path. Greg, RPCV 1994-1996, has wonderful memories of his time in The Gambia - our June 2014 highlighted country. One thing I remember about serving in The Gambia is live, community entertainment. I remember one time walking back to my compound at night. I could first hear drums and clapping. As I approached I saw a crowd of people. One or more men were drumming, people were dancing, and others were clapping. Those dancing would try to impress one another. These scenarios are typical for naming ceremonies for recently born children. Often, the celebrations went long into the night.
