Snail Soup for the Cameroonian Soul

MMMMMMM best Thanksgiving dinner ever? Not quite... but snail soup is pretty good here. Spent Thanksgiving day on the black sand beaches of Limbe with these crazy German volunteers, where we spent the afternoon having hand stand contests and they attempted to teach me some New Zeland form of juggling. Bizarre. It's moments like this where I realize I couldn't be any farther from my family

This morning I visited one of the businesses of the recipients of a LINK UP micro credit loan. She sells "Sha", a traditional Bamenda corn drink outside her home in the morning and in the evening. I had no idea until I finished my bottle, but this "Sha" is fermented corn. I ended up getting inappropriately tipsy circa 8:15 AM with the neighbors and cousins.

Tomorrow I am ATTEMPTING to climb Mount Cameroon. Because of this research project, we are trying to do it in 2 days. Should be interesting...
