Bye Bye

Getting my fancy Peace Corps pin. I'm now an RPCV.




Due to some circumstances outside of my control (or somewhere deep in my conscience), I am leaving Cameroon today... a bit early. Not without all the regalia of "gonging out," though.



It's been fantastic. I'll be back.

After two beers a few weeks ago, I invited Maa Marie and 10 of her family members to the fancy Dreamland restaurant. I figured she would invite family that I knew, and that we probably wouldn't reach up to 10. She made sure to fill the quota, though.... and surpassed the 1 plate of food, 1 beer limit. 50,000 francs later (100 dollars or so) everyone seemed to be having a really, really good time. In this country, you pay for your own send-off.
