This might not be the best day for this - or maybe it is. No time for fools. We docked at Banjul, Gambia and we are taking a cruise up the Juffureh River. If you have ever read or seen Roots, this is the river from the beginning. Tomorrow will be even more upsetting. Then we will be in Dakar, Senegal where we will visit Goree Island, the location of the Gate of No Return. People who had been stolen into slavery would never see Africa again once they passed through and were chained into a ship.
ETA: Gambia got canceled altogether. First we were going to arrive late due to "weather" and there was no time for Juffrey. Now we move along to Senegal. Hopefully.
