| The most beautiful melange of purple-black atangas and bright red wild cardamon from the Ginger family |
| Bush-meat--ever so tasty but depressingly-grotesque to look at |
| I spent an afternoon with my copine from Dibouka village and returned before the storms with quite a haul--three cacao cabosses (I ate one on the way home), a tart juicy fruit called le sex du singe, a beautiful quartz rock collected from outside Lambarene, and a bag full of chataines (chestnuts). What a HAUL!! |
| Mushrooms--so yummy in sauces! |
 |
| The pristine cacao tree, whose seeds, after much refining, makes chocolate--Yummy! But even better (?) than the resultant is the sweet-sour pulp of the fruit surrounding those seeds. |
 |
| Plantation for my maman, Tsuakagna. Can you see the manioc, banana, courge and aubergine planted. Trick question, if you are American, you'll see no order but it makes all the sense to them! |
