Ok, now it's time to talk about Yaoundé.  Yes, it's a city (and I am NOT a city girl!), but there is still  beauty.

Some are perhaps not so beautiful, but are still interesting...
 
Jackfruit - yes, it's edible, but it wasn't ours to eat :).

Our kids have really been enjoying the "back to nature" part of living here, including handling all kinds of creepy crawlies.  These two worm snakes (yes, you read correctly - SNAKES!  But they are harmless, and lots of fun to play with!) are Laura's favorites so far.
