Kribi... A Taste of Paradise

In the 15th century, the Portuguese named this country Rio dos Camarões (River of Prawns). Lets just say, the shrimp here is a-ma-zing! Ate de-lic-ious, fresh fish and shrimp all week. Spent the days in training and the afternoons and evenings on the beach.  One highlight was Terra Plage, a freshwater waterfall leading into the ocean. Simply, a taste of paradise with great swimming, cutesy wooden canoes, African art and jewelry, coconuts and cold beer. During the week, we worked on Peace Corps goal #3, cross cultural exchanges -- American football, copious quantities of rhum, bonfires, debauchery, and in general a taste of college days! Oh, and no police or lame beach rules... spring break, peace corps style :)

Roughin' it here... as you can see!
