I wasn't too sure about Cameroon for some reason, but was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Mamfé. I couldn't get any money out of the ATM that day, and had been unable to change any currency for the local Central African Franc, but the guy sitting next to my coat, Oroc, who worked at the beer warehouse across the road, bought me a beer.

Looking at the south side of the street in the middle of the block west of 31st Street Northwest.
"Georgetown is a historic neighborhood, and commercial and entertainment district located in Northwest Washington, D.C., situated along the Potomac River. Founded in 1751 in the Province of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years. Georgetown remained a separate municipality until 1871 when the United States Congress created a new consolidated government for the whole District of Columbia. A separate act, passed in 1895, specifically repealed Georgetown's remaining local ordinances and renamed Georgetown's streets to conform with those in the City of Washington.
The primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and M Street, which contain high-end shops, bars, restaurants, and the Georgetown Park enclosed shopping mall. The Washington Harbour waterfront restaurants are located to the south on K Street, between 30th and 31st Streets.
Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University and numerous other landmarks, such as the Volta Bureau and the Old Stone House, the oldest house in Washington. The embassies of Cameroon, France, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, Ukraine and Venezuela are located in Georgetown.
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as just Washington or simply D.C., is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S. with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.
The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.
The city is divided into quadrants centered on the Capitol, and there are as many as 131 neighborhoods. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 689,545, which makes it the 23rd most populous city in the U.S. as of 2020, the third most populous city in the Mid-Atlantic, and gives it a population larger than that of two U.S. states: Wyoming and Vermont. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's daytime population to more than one million during the workweek. Washington's metropolitan area, the country's sixth largest (including parts of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia), had a 2020 estimated population of 6.3 million residents; and over 54 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of the District.
The three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the district: Congress (legislative), the president (executive), and the Supreme Court (judicial). Washington is home to many national monuments and museums, primarily situated on or around the National Mall. The city hosts 177 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profits, lobbying groups, and professional associations, including the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States, AARP, the National Geographic Society, the American Red Cross, and others.
A locally elected mayor and a 13-member council have governed the district since 1973. Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. The District of Columbia does not have representation in Congress, although D.C. residents elect a single at-large congressional delegate to the House of Representatives who has no vote. District voters choose three presidential electors in accordance with the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1961." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Gara Boulai, Eastern Cameroon, 16 April 2015: Fatoumata Pesa, 30, arrived at the transit camp in Gara Boulai in March 2015. “My husband and two of my children were killed at the beginning of the conflict in our hometown, Bughere, in the Central African Republic. I managed to flee with two of my children to Boda. Life there was tough despite the food assistance we received. We were not able to move freely. There still is insecurity and I was scared for my children. Then my brother in law sent me a message that two of my other children have survived and are in Mbili camp. We first went to Bangui, then took on a truck to Cameroon.”

Koma is a hill-dwelling ethnic group in northern Cameroon, in the Atlantika Mountains, an extension of the Cameroon line of volcanic mountains, There are 21 Koma villages in Cameroon.The primitive people whose women used leaves to cover their private parts while men wore animal skins and children romped about the countryside butt-naked — stone-age cultural practices
in the local muslim school. The Fulane stem from the Chad and Sudan. They infiltrated Cameroon since the 12th century. They brought Islam to Cameroon. Their semi sedentry lifestyle in which the lifestock of Zebu-cows plays the central role has not been (and is not to date) received well by the farmers of the Extreme North and Northwest regions of Cameroon.
This girl is attending the Muslim school of Misaje, some two km outside of town near a double rock system. The legend goes that one of the rocks at night travels to the nearby river to wash itself.
In Fulani language the girl is called "Nyango'de" which means: the pretty one.

Dear Keen,
Just a quick note to thank you for making such great products. In preparation for a trip to Cameroon, Africa, I was in need of a pair of rugged sandals. Last winter I purchased a pair of your Targhee II mid-rise hiking boots to wear when snowshoeing and they are great. I have lived in Minnesota all my life and have struggled to find the right boots for winter activities. They are either too big and too hot or not warm enough. But your boots are just right. Warm, comfortable, and they fit well in snowshoe bindings. I remember going out one day with a -19 wind chill. Four miles later I returned home with icicles hanging off my beard, a glow on my face and nice, warm toes.
After being so satisfied with the boots, I decided to give your sandals a try and purchased a pair of Newport H2’s. Attached is a photo of my sandals taken after three weeks in Cameroon. The red dirt is the earth of west Africa, a fine clay mix that stains cloths, works it’s way into everything and gets greasy when you add rain. But even in the rain, traction was never a problem for the H2’s. As for the dirt, it can still be seen on the soles after two week at home. They were comfortable both barefoot during the heat of the day or with socks on cool nights. The only change I would suggest is some type of a slotted insole to catch small stones without them grinding into your foot. But with all the openings in the sides it was usually not problem to remove the offender and continue walking.
In short, you have a very satisfied customer. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely
Kelley J.

I 'm always i awe when i think about the diversity of humanity all over the world. Mentally, physically and especially culturely. The Gerewol that i was allowed to witness in Cameroon is still imprinted in my brain. A real celebrating of culture. Over 2000 peoples gathered in the bush in where about 500 male dancers dancers tried to win over girls by dancing their heart out. Their attire, dance moves and facial expression had to be on point in order to have any chance. The huge Mbororo scarifications made it all even more impressive
