For P-day we took our missionaries to a resort town 21/2 hours away called Kribi. It is on the Atlantic Ocean. We are at the bus station at 7:00 a.m. to leave and finally left at 8:30 after stopping to get gas and to get a new spare tire for the one that was flat.
At Kribi we saw these beautiful water falls that empty into the ocean. We rode in taxis for about 20 minutes from where the bus dropped us off in the center of town. This was by far the most beautiful place we have seen in Cameroon. It was a refreshing change of scenery.

The missionaries changed into their p-day clothes after we arrived. They always wear their name tags. It drove them crazy not to be able to get in the ocean and go swimming. When the frisbee went into the ocean the native below would go out and get it for them. He played soccer with the missionaries and he was a lot of fun.
This young man played soccer and frisbee with the Elders. He found this little sand crab walking along the beach and put it on his head where it would show up better. We were having so much fun just getting away that we didn’t even take a picture of the ocean. On the way home we were crammed into a 18 passenger small bus that had small fold down seats added in the isle that expanded the capacity to 34 people. We were 11/2 hours late getting back to the bus because our taxis didn’t come on time. We had 24 people sitting on the hot bus that were not very happy to see 10 white people show up and squeeze in between them. We handed out pretzels and that seemed to help. The ride back took 31/2 hours because the traffic was so bad. My back was sore for a week.
