Following my heart to Cameroon

Some of my good friends threw me a combination Bridal Shower and Bon Voyage Party on Friday night. There were balloons, and a “wedding” cake for all the friends who won’t be in Cameroon. My Mom and my brother said really nice things about me and Andrea told everyone how William and I met (the PG version).

Then we had a little talk show about Cameroon. I, of course, was the “host” and took questions from the “audience”. Here’s my summary of the informaton: Cameroon is located in West Africa and has a population of 16 million people. The official languages are French and English. The capital is Yaounde and the largest city is Douala. Douala is a port city on the Bight of Biafra in the Atlantic Ocean. The average temperature in Douala is in the low 30s with high humidity. We will also be visiting Bafoussam and Banghate.

There is a large national park called Waza, with game animals and I definitely want to have a safari tour. My favourite Cameroonian food was lovingly described and I’m sure I’ll have many additional favourites over the next few months.

I received lots of love and support from everyone and it reminded me why I’m so lucky to know them.

Now if only I could get someone to pack up my house . . .
