Flag of Cameroon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s the 20th of May!\u00a0 That’s like saying it’s the “4th of July” to an American or “le 14 juillet” to a Frenchman.\u00a0 It’s a National Holiday filled with patriotism, celebration, and a day off from work and school!<\/p>\n

There have been preparations all week for this special day.\u00a0 Downtown on the 20th May Ave. parade rehersals have dominated the main parade route in town – which means many roads blocked and great difficulty getting around by car.\u00a0 At the military airport near our house the fighter jets have been practising their flight demonstration for several days.\u00a0 Yesterday there was a spectacle <\/em>there that Ben was able to attend – he got to see a variety of planes and watch some aircraft manoevers.<\/p>\n

Today is the big parade downtown attended by President Biya and his wife, along with\u00a0government ministers.\u00a0 \u00a0If you want to know more click here <\/a>for an article about the holiday this year.\u00a0 US Secretary of State Clinton wrote a nice letter of congratulations <\/a>to the people of Cameroon on behalf of us, the people of the USA.<\/p>\n

As I write, the helicopters are passing overhead.\u00a0 One was of particular interest – I just had to take a picture:<\/p>\n
