La ville de sept collinas!
Monday and off to work again, after a interesting week-end! Yaounde is also called "the city of seven hills", hence the title. To see the full size of the city, we decided to take a lovely stroll up one of these many green hills on Saturday. Since we have not been exercicing alot, it was ever so pleasant. Furthermore, we made an early visit to church on Sunday morning and later the same day some networking. We met a Colonel, two teachers and also a colleague of ours- a dietitian, working in the military sector. We have truly learned that one can never have enough contacts!
Today we set out to get some statistics for our study. After somewhat of a secret process, we got hold of the very latest data. Unfortunatley the latest data is from 2004. They are just about to release a new rapport, so we hope that it will happend before we finnish our study. After that quest we went on to do some gift shopping for the mothers that we are going to interview.
Both me and Frida have been longing for coffee for a long time now, and today we decided to do something about it aswell. Late afternoon we headed to Bastos area to fullfill our need and bless our throats with the tastiest of beverages. Coffee... It was a perfect ending to a good day.
Not to forget, we tried a new fruit today. Cola de singe, it is called. It looked promising with it's red color, but unfortunatley it tasted like cabbage. The favourite so far is grilled "prune" (plommon). These are not at all like the ones you can find in Sweden. These taste like lemon and cream!
All for now, best regards

Det låter som att ni har fullt upp hela tiden. Skönt att ni hinner med lite "fritid" också. :) Mycket vackra bilder ni visar upp. Kram Linda
