Look on the right side. It's hard to see because of the trees in the background but there is a sack that is hanging completely off of the top of the car. Also, notice how the back is so full that the hatch is being held closed by some rubber strapping. We saw this on our way back from Bamenda a few weeks ago. I'm still trying to get a picture like this but with a live goat tied on to the top with all of the cargo, we've seen that a bunch of times but never when the camera was handy. We are so thankful for having our truck -- that it got fixed and is working well(!!!!!) so that we can skip the major hassles of public transport. Nathan and I rode in a bush taxi one time where we all (18+ people, sardine style, and it was just a little bigger than this car) had to get out of the taxi and help push it out of the mud. Another time in a bush taxi we were clipped by a logging truck. Travel here in Cameroon sure can be...exciting.

I loved the goats! and the pigs in baskets. But I was a little freaked out when there were chickens in the backseat.

Hmmm... so I guess this wouldn't be a great market to introduce child carseats into? Unless they could carry animals...
