Happy New Year to everyone! We have survived Cameroon (and each other) for eleven days. It has been fun though not without a few mishaps, if you will. One of mom's bags is still missing, all 3 of us almost drown in the Ndu dust and I've put them in too many bush taxis...there was one specific incident in which two of our bags actually took flight off the top and landed, quite forcefully, on the pavement. Christmas was spent watching Harry be swarmed by interested Cameroonian teenagers wanting to "snap" with him and exchange email addresses on the beach. For new years we watched (and listened to) and ROCKING party outside our hotel which had fireworks, beeping "Santa Claus is coming to town," and balloons ALL NIGHT LONG... Harry's carried a bag on his head, we've gone through at least 3 travel bottles of Purel and Mom joined the "walking club" as we did our weekly Jane Fonda workout (I'm not kidding...). There are many pictures and details coming later, hopefully one or two pictures too--maybe with lions.

Happy 2007!!
