Mail Run - A 5-day trek around The Gambia delivering mail and packages to even the most remote Peace Corps volunteers. A fun and amazing trip despite torrential downpours, getting covered from head to toe with mud while trying to get the vehicle unstuck, sweating massive amounts while enduring the blazing sun, pulling on wire cables until our hands were covered with blisters to get ourselves and our vehicle across the pull-it-yourself-ferries, and all the other things that makes mail run unforgettable!

The Peace Corps vehicle packed up to its ceiling, waiting to cross the ferry.

It poured the first night of our trip and all day the second day.
