Fufu time!

Got to try the fufu today! And I found out what exactly it is. So, it's a yam, that has been soaked in water to soften. Then it's cooked and  mashed up into a ummmmm blob-like substance.... Yeah! It was not horrible tasting. Really did not have too much flavor actually. The soupy stuff it's served in is quite good(spicy too). But if given the chance to eat it again I think I will pass. :D
 We went to the waterfalls today also! This morning we woke up early and met up at the gas station down the street. One of our day workers arranged for a bus to take us to K'Palme. I think that is spelled right.. The k is silent.  So we crammed 20 people into our bus.. Wow! We were packed tight into that bus. Wish we had a picture to show.. But here is a picture of the bus and you can maybe imagine 20 people inside?
Yep! Supposedly it was 2 1/2 hours to our destination... But yeah crammed in there it was like 2 days. :) Not really.. We had a real fun time...
We finally got to the trail for the falls and climbed down hill to get here.. It was nice and cool on the way down to the falls. We were able to go swimming and really enjoyed our time there. Then we had to climb up the hill in the heat! Ack!
