--We stayed at the Foyer du Marin for our first 2 nights in Cameroon. Ruth and Raphael had been in Canada for the previous 6 weeks, and they arrived home in Douala only one day before we arrived - they needed a little time to settle in at home. We were happy to give them space, and felt recklessly liberated when we took an unchaperoned walk around the neighborhood.
--The Foyer du Marin is situated in the Akwa District of Douala - this is where many banks and development agencies are located. It was comfortable and very pleasant, particularly the outdoor dining room which we thoroughly enjoyed for its charm and for the excellent food. To our delight, one of the waiters was very comfortable with English and kindly gave helpful orientation and suggestions.
--We relaxed, beginning to adapt our sleep-wake schedules. Arizona is 8 hours earlier than Cameroon - we need a couple of days to catch up.
