Awesome monster fish that we split between 6 of us

Cool bird (that I forgot the name of), but don't worry, Dad, I found it in my bird book

 If I understand correctly, one of the smaller peaks of Mount Cameroon

May 20th Celebration

Brian and I on May 20 (Independence Day) decked out in pagne, of course.  For the record, I did not request the shiny hearts.  My tailor thought they were a nice touch...

Doudou and I on May 20

May Polio Vaccination Campaign

Outside of the small village, Tirboing

Also outside of Tirboing

One of the vaccinators, Youssoupha, in the village of Kandje.  The day I spent in Kandje helping Youssoupha with vaccinations was one of my best days in country.  He was incredibly welcoming, but when it came to trekking out to small encampments he didn't baby me as so often happens here.  Youssoupha led me out to a remote Mbororo camp to finish the small amount of vaccines that we had left.  The route included several very questionable slippery log bridges (Mom, it's better that you don't see) and what can hardly be called a path.  Luckily, he thought to buy mangoes before we left so we had a snack for the road.
