Picnic

On Saturday we went on a great picnic. Tom found a spot about 25 minutes away, on the far side of Mount Febe. We went down a hard dirt track-Pete did a great job driving. It would have been impossible to pass had it been the middle of the rainy season. We had no idea how he found it. When asked, he said he was out exploring and saw a sign that said fresh orange juice 100 cfa (30 cents or so) so he stopped. The area we are in is actually a bar, but they did not mind us bbqing there as we bought our beer from them.

The high-light of the day was when Tom pulled out the bocce bowling game, the kids loved it! That's what these shots are of. Behind the players the trees are covered in cocoa pods, they were all shades of ripeness, green to yellow to red.
