Marvin Johnson said...: Hi KATIE:
ok! We did receive your 40 pictures. Please remember how you sent them. The street scenes are what we expected - dirt streets, etc. How far is the ocean from where you stayed?
Well - now you're there and the adventure begins.
Lots of love,

Karen said...: Well, guess what I have Katie's phone numbers and if you want them email me and I will send them to you. The pictues are so awesome. And I TALKED to Katie for 4 minutes as my Walmart 75 minute phone cards affords me 4 minutes to Africa. If you buy a phone card you can talk. But better get the high minute ones...; February 11, 2008 11:18 PM

Love ya, Diane; February 11, 2008 11:44 PM

How to find my house...

okay...

*Note, this picture was clearly taken a long time ago because a lot things are missing in the picture. Also, I'm not sure how they did this, but there is not one single gele on the road. I do not think that there was ever been one moment, even the middle of the night, that I've been there that a car or gele or truck was not on the road.

1) Locate the arrows in the top left, and click the arrow pointing left one time. No matter how many times I try to fix this it will not work.

2) Locate the random white dot in the middle of the main road. That is a sign that says, "Stop Police Checkpoint."

3) Turn left down the main road. This is the thick black line. move about one 1/2- 1 inch and stop. (not good with measurements)

4) Look up at the top portion of the road and locate a long, rectangular building with a silver roof. You have now entered Jammeh Kunda. The house you are looking at is the house for the women and children.

5) To the right of that large house is a smaller, square-shaped house. This is the house where some of the older children live.

6) Next, return to the large rectangular building, and look for a big dark circular shape in front of the building. That is the bantaba (the place where people sit and chat).

7) Using the bantaba, take a sharp angle to left, and look for a small square building. This building has a large tree on the top left corner, and a really small one at the right hand corner.

8) Using the small square house, travel straight right and look for a small rectangular house that seems to pretty much be covered by trees. That's my beautiful house. I live in the section that is close to the road.

*Note: Again like I said before, this is a really old picture. Now my compound has fences, and is super fancy. Also, the huge white cement wall around my backyard isn't there.

Good luck, and let me know if this does not make any sense at all.
