Back to Nanga Today - Some Blog Love for Bill Before I Go

After my week in and around Buea and a weekend in Mbalmayo with my host family, I am heading back to Nanga today, where I may or may not have internet access or power when I arrive.

I will post pictures and observations from my vacation when I can get back online. For now, here is a post on Bill's blog about our climb up Mount Cameroon (with pictures).

Also, here's an interesting post he wrote about the the challenges of cultural integration that come with living in another society, and another about the human face of the work we do. Since I plan to write some posts on these topics in the future, I thought I would present Bill's thoughts first to get the ball rolling. Comment away.

Spring Break 2007

This past week was Spring Break 2007 at the university (or maybe that should be Dry Season Break 2007?), so I took my first real vacation since arriving in Cameroon. I visited my friend and fellow volunteer Bill in Buea, the beach resort town of Limbe, and hiked up Mount Cameroon. All in all it was a good trip and a badly needed mental health break from the dust and power outages of Nanga Eboko. When I get back to post I will pull my pictures off my camera and post them and observations the next time I can get online. This weekend I am headed back to Mbalmayo to visit my host family. Should be interesting. Stay tuned ...
