The home-school group session ends tomorrow; I'm "down" with some kind of stomach bug, but I can still hear the sounds of activity going on around our room. I can hear the honk of taxis as they travel through the intersection at the bottom of the hill, Cameroon Pidgin spoken by Cameroonian kids playing in the playground, and a guitar and drum being played by parents waiting for supper.

| Flag football - note the yellow flags |
Soon these parents will "scatter" as they return to their various places of work. A sign of the coming end of the group sessions is that fitness testing started today - our long and lean kids excel in most of these tests (except the flexibility one - it's hard for K to reach all the way to his feet, with those long legs!). During P.E. they have also learned how to play flag football (American football, that is :) ).
And soon we will exchange the beauty of the flowers/plants here in the Northwest Region with the lush rain forest of the Southwest Region.
Some of the plants will be the same, some different.
What I really like about our area is that plants seem to grow easily - stick a shoot in the ground, and it will take root and grow. Except for vegetables... it is too wet there for most veggies. Ah well, we'll enjoy the tropical fruit :). What we are really looking forward to is being able to settle in one place and unpack! Perhaps on Monday we will brave the muddy roads....
