On the Road Again...

These are shots of the typical things you see when traveling outside the capital city of Yaounde. The stand on the side of the road were empty because it was New Year's Day and most people took it off to recuperate from the night before. Normally they would have had plantains, bananas, cassava root, tomatoes, watermelon, various citrus fruits, and meat brochettes for sale. Huge houses are often built and then left to mold when the money runs out. If you can see the holes in the walls--that is where they insert the flimsy wooden scaffolding to stand on to build the upper parts. Lastly, this is the rear view of a logging truck. Sometime the trees that they carry are so big, they can only carry 3 trees on them. These are 18-wheeler flat-beds to give you an idea of the size of the trees
