Well, I haven’t posted in a while, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been a diligent walker… Monday: 1 hour walking Tuesday: 10,483 steps Wednesday: 2 hours 15 min. walking (tried to use my pedometer, but it stopped counting at 7,000 steps and then counted backwards to 5,000, at which pointed I resisted the urge [...]

People start all conversations with the weather. In Cameroon, where the weather is nearly always warm or hot, or [...]

Hello, gals! I know my strategy of getting over jetlag was a fine one, but like all good plans it didn’t work out. It took nearly six days before I was able to sleep at night. It was very frustrating to spend the evenings wide awake and finally get tired around 5-6 o’clock in the [...]

Hi! I was away for nearly two weeks visiting family and friends in Toronto and Montreal. This is to say that I am now safe and sound and back at home. It was a very busy three weeks (extending the visit to include the rushed week before the trip) and even though I didn’t post, [...]
