National Day

May20^th – National Day for Cameroon. Activties in Banyo began with a parade – a rather long parade with the military, students, youth clubs, and everything else marching. After the parade, a quick drink before off to the Prefet’s house for lunch. And we even had extra special invitations and got to sit and eat inside his house rather than on the lawn. Then a quick rest before the grand evening... the gala de soiree.

The evening party 'began' at 8pm meaning we arrived at the time on the invitation and then things actually got started closer to 10. But no complaints - we had lots of food and drink and dancing continued all the way till about 1:30. We ended the evening by going back into town and of course visiting our favorite bakery (just because we were told it is open 24/7 - and yes we confirmed it is).
