| GOODBYE FROM CAMEROON !!! |
After Saturday morning hospital rounds, we went with the Barriers and Youngs and Adam Houser (med-peds resident visiting from Cincinnati) on a 4 hour hike to one of the local waterfalls. Along the way, we enjoyed the beautiful mountainous panoramas and bright blue skies. After a lunch stop, several of the guys went down to the base of the falls for a swim, which they said was quite strenuous, especially the part where they got themselves from the water by climbing up a steep slope on vines! Meanwhile, the rest of us made our way back to the base, getting lost at one point - thankfully, a boy in a nearby village guided us back to the right path.

| The view back toward the hospital complex and nearby village was breathtaking. |

| This picture doesn't exactly fit but I had to show it! Along the hike, we met a young man who had trapped and killed a "bush rat" - what do you suppose that he was going to do with it?? |
