And a good monday morning to everybody! Another very relaxing weeknend here in Cameroon. I am really enjoying the African way of living, and that is do as little as possible as often as you can. As I mentioned in my last update, I went to cowfest this past weekend. So the deal was, earlier in the week a few volunteers picked out a cow and partaked in the slaughtering. I did see you pictures and it was pretty disturbing, but it was the best meat I have had here. We ate burgers, filets, various types of other cuts and many side dishes that I cannot recall. It was quite amazing. I needed a day of hard core red meat eating. I think it is good for the soul.

I have received a few emails asking how my house is and if it is safe. Well, my house is very nice and I am working on getting some pics up ASAP. My computer is still broken and I do not think the Internet Cafe( yes one just opened a few weeks ago. This is big news in town) in my village has a USB connection, but as I am typing this they are adding new computers. Not new, but new to here.
In regards to security, once I lock my doors at night it probably takes me half the morning to unlock them and get outside. I have two doors. the outside one is a steal door with three locks, and the inside one is solid wood with three or four locks. My windows have bars and I think screens as well. So, I am very safe from anybody trying to get in, but the problem is what is already in the house. RATS. Ya, thats right. I heard the little guys having a field day last night. They tried to eat my snickers bar but failed thank God. It is absolutely appalling laying in bed, trying to sleep, and hear these things ruffling through my things. Of coarse there are no mouse traps here to purchase, so I am in the process of looking for one or two kittens to help with the problem. The volunteer who I took over killed 22 rats in his two years. I have my work cut out for my to beat that record. I hope they are not big, but i do think they can climb my shelfs. I have found many times little mouse droppings on the top shelf of my kitchen. Wish me luck. If anyone has any ideas to kill mice let me know. Keep it simple though, I have limited resources. We are still waiting for the Walmart to open in town.

I finally have a new address, sort of, but I can't get a straight anwser on what it is going to be. Even with that, if anyone sends a package ( a box only, not envelopes) send it to the address that is currently posted, but anything small can be sent to my new address. I keep you posted.

I think that is about it for now.
Go Red Sox. I see they are SLOWLY catching up to the damn yankees. Only 5 1/2 Games

I hope everyone is doing very well.
Take Care. Lots of love from Cameroon to evryone!!
