30 May 2009 - Bamenda
Today marks our last weekend in Bamenda – next weekend Jane and I will be relaxing on the beach in Limbe. We started the morning by taking a very long walk to Commercial Avenue (we’ve never walked there before – we always take a taxi!) with our housekeeper, Evelyn. Evelyn helped us buy fabric and then took us to a seamstress. I’m getting a messenger bag made and I can’t wait for it to be ready! In the fabric store, we met a huge group of volunteers from Hope College. Most of them were there with “Engineers Without Borders,” and had been working in Kumbu (about 3 hours north of Bamenda). They were leaving for home today! It was incredible to meet some fellow Michiganders!
We also went back to Presscraft to get a few souvenir-ish gifts. We finally gave in and took a taxi home after visiting the supermarket. After relaxing for a few hours at the flat, we proceeded to Uncle Sam’s restaurant for dinner. It’s become pretty standard that I get chicken when we go out – I really should diversify my palette.
Power outages: 39
