hold your breath...

it's almost.... loaded... okay. Finding working Internet and constant power was an uphill battle the past few days. I was only able to upload one photo, so here it is! This was taken from the village of Sabga, 20 minutes away from Bambili further up the mountainside. Jacqueline and I took a hike one weekend and saw a 360 panoramic view of this. More pics later, when the internet is up to speed :)

Jacqueline & I went hunting for waterfalls. This is one we found off the side of the road.

A closer look... the water seems to appear from nowhere.

Typical transportation around here = a moto. Peace Corps Volunteers are required to wear their helmet at all times, at risk of being sent home if caught without it. It goes to show how safe riding these things are... which is not very, as you can probably guess. I've seen motos carrying 3 grown men (and more if they're children), or curled up foam mattresses, baskets of chickens, stacks of eggs or luggage, zooming past taxis and swerving to avoid murky potholes. Women clutch their bags to their chests, tuck in their knees and hang on for dear life. These motos spurt uphill or coast downhill on winding roads, tooting their horns. vroom vroom.
