Today I planned to go horseback riding with Victor and his friend Eric. We departed after lunch from Bamenda and journeyed north east toward Ndop. When we arrived in Sagba where we were to rent the horses we saw many people milling around. We quickly learned that there were no horses to rent today because the muslim people of the area were celebrating with a horse race. We decided not to let this small setback stop our plans so we continued on to find a nice location for some photos.Tabaski celebration with the horsesWhen we found a picturesque location, we stopped the car and got out to look around. As a surprise Victor and Eric had planned a picnic with a charcoal BBQ and chicken. It was a lot of fun and it really made me feel like I was camping in Canada. We were a source of entertainment for all the passersby many of whom asked if they could join us. Sadly we didn’t bring enough chicken to include others.Victor and Eric assembling the bbqThe view from our picnic locationIt was a lovely day and it was complete with a tennis game when we got back to Bamenda.Eric preparing the chicken
