Just returned from Kribi! We got there last Sunday and celebrated Claire Kihn's birthday a la plage. Then in-service-training lasted Monday thru Sat. Morning. We each invited our counterparts from our villages to come down with us. So, the principal of my school came down adn we had a bunch of workshops together for the first few days. Then all the counterparts left and we had more volunteer-related material.

The hotel was really pretty, right by the beach. We ate a ton of delicious fish, crabs, shrimps etc. all week which was a delicious change from the fare in the extreme north. There's this huge fish market right by the harbor where you can walk around and pick out all the fresh fish and then you bring it over to one of the mommies and then they grill it up in their special sauces. Then the whole fish... head, tail and all gets served on a platter to eat with your hands. We stayed over an extra day/night and visited some waterfalls that were just outside of the town. We took a dug-out canoe ride and went swimming.

...I'm back in Yaounde now, trying to get my self organized for Mt. Cameroon... more stories to come.
