Tchatibali--a village in Northern Cameroon

On our trip to the North, we were able to visit the home village of one of our closest African friends, Jeremie. We enjoyed getting to visit his and his wife's family there in Tchatibali. They were so friendly!





This is one of the churches in Tchatibali.



Kristen taking a nap in our beautiful hotel room in Tchatibali. It's always an adventure in Africa!


Here's the entry way to our room.



Here's where we bathed in our luxurious room. And, No, there was not even a hole to pee in. We had to go outside and ring a pipe in the ground in the open in front of the bar. Needless to say, we tried not to drink anything that night!



Up North they harvest a lot of millet (It tastes kind of like corn). This is how they store it.


This was one of Jeremie's really good friends house. It was so interesting to see how the cows were just in a little bity pen by the house.


Jeremy and Kristen gettin' their grub on! We love African food and enjoyed one of the
Northerner's favorites--millet couscous.

Brigitte's mom wanted to make us some coffee so she went to get her pot out of storage. Yes, this is where they store things! She went up a ladder and climbed in to get her pot.


This is our friend Brigitte's parent's house.

This is a picture of us with Brigitte's family in her village. Yes, it was cold in the morning with the wind blowing. It is very deserty there.
