July 25: I need contingency plans



My planned trip is unravelling a bit. The aquatabs and ORS did not go up in the car. Nor did the T-shirts and polos that I had ordered as gifts for the chiefs and others we meet. M. Tsimi informs me that since he was not given the agenda, he had made other plans and is not able to meet with us today. Then we almost miss the flight because of a truck accident.


I don’ t know what traffic fatality rates are here in Cameroon but I suspect the number to be high. I see some awfully crushed truck cabs. Undented unscratched vehicles are such rarities here.


We do make the flight--sans snacks--as they were confiscated at security. My coconut and madeleines should make a great snack for the security personnel.
