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.

But you know, that party went on long after the white man left ... and you know it will remain in their memory forever. Talk about going out while on top. ;-)

Enjoyed the beautiful pictures of your home town in Cameroon! I know that there will be a few tears when you leave. Is it hard to believe that your time with the Peace Corps in coming to a close?

Looking forward to seeing you stateside.
Love Mrs B
