After having 3 weeks of different guests, we decided to have a little family outing in the forest. We took a bucket with plantains, coco-yams, matches and a machete to have ourselves a little picnic. We waded through the mud and muck for a while, then followed the path to an enormous tree that had been cut down and milled.
Avele followed us and we were glad for his company, though I was surprised that he slipped off without any of the other Baka kids noticing and following too! The kids climbed around the felled tree, which made quite a fun playground, while Nathan started a fire and cooked our snack and I swatted the filaria flies. We are so blessed to be able to step into a National Geographic magazine and have such amazing adventures!

Hello!
