Welcome Note

I created this blog so that all of you will be able to, if ever randomly curious, find out what I've been up to while I'm across the pond. Most of all though, I would like these little journal entry's to become an honest (as much as a Snyderman story teller can be), intimate, and hopefully comical account of my time in the Peace Corps. I truly hope that this becomes, if even for a second, a window into west Africa. I realize a lot of you won't be able to respond to the posts if you are not signed up on blogspot, but I look forward to your e-mails and letters. Also realize that I will try and post as often as possible, but due to living conditions most likely will not be able to update it on a weekly basis. God-willing I will have 2 very happy, healthy, and inspiring years that I pray fuel many great stories for all of you back home. Miss you all already, and hope to see you all visiting me!

p.s. Here is a link I also wanted to add: http://www.youtube.com/user/manateesbs you can watch some of the video's that I was able to post while back in America (if you can't access the link just go to youtube channels and type in "manateesbs"). Enjoy.

Video by the rotunda at GPI and Disclaimer to Dan's family

This is a video we took on Ruco’s sweet camera that converts strait to youtube mode. It’s us outside our rooms in the rotunda of the Gambian Pastoral Institute where we were for the first week. I hope to make a video with my own camera of my training village hut and post it back up here in 65 days. Call if ya want to talk (but USE A PHONE CARD, because it’s going to be expensive). Also I feel I have to write another message:

*DISCLAIMER: To all of Dan’s friends and family who have received this blog website, realize all bad language and gross stories are of my own personal opinion and have no correlation to Dan what so ever. He is a stand up guy, just realize that language and graphic stories will not be filtered in the following blogs.*

Everything looks absolutely beautiful, and the people you're working with seem fun.

I in turn will return the favor with a video update.

Here is one on Youtube of Kent AEPi performing a 300 spoof for Lip Sync this year. I, of course, am Leonidas. Hopefully the Gambian computers have the plug-ins to view it.
