Karin's favorite tree in this part of Cameroon is a type of Zizaphus. It is locally called "Courna" and the fruit is yummy to eat! This is the well in Abba and Hapsatou's compound. Note the ducks! They know there is water there - but they can't get in since it is covered. El Kass wearing Karin's sunglasses Karin drinking a well deserved cold Coke! (Made cold in our Canarie fridge)
