New address!

Hey all,

I opened a PO Box in my neighboring village, so I will be able to get mail more frequently. If you want to send me creepy love letters or amazing packages, here is where to:

Alissa Ferry
PO Box 21
Misaje, Donga-Mantung Division

Airmail / Par Avion

I have just arrived in Bamenda after discovering what it truly means to travel during the rainy season. After leaving my house at 6:30 this morning, I arrived in Bamenda, my regional capital, at 11:30pm. However, it is not the multiple breakdowns and getting stuck in mud that I will remember from this trip, but rather, how patient everyone was. Including me! No one was even phased by the length of the journey, because hey, what can you do about it? You may as well just sit back and enjoy the ride. My 16 hour journey was made all the better by the country music that the driver played as we arrived in Bamenda. Even when this country fails, it is still awesome.
