I'm going on vacation over Christmas and New Years to the three Northern provinces. This is where it's hot. The hottest days of the year get up to 140F in the shade! As long as I don't melt, I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
But...if you want something before then, help me out. I think one of my best blogs, or at least one with the most reaction was when I responded to questions from my mom's book club. So how about Round II? I should have internet access where I'm going and it's less work for me if you all come up with what I'm supposed to write about. I'm also curious who's reading. I've been told by countless volunteers that their mom reads my blog. And I know that it's a lot more than Peace Corps moms. I recently installed a counter on the site and the statistics are interesting. While it wasn't so much a 'surprise' where a huge number of the hits came from - Surprise, AZ is where my parents are living - some other details caught my eye. Eight percent of my readers are in the UK, and there are others from Ireland, Australia, Kenya, France, South Korea, and plenty of other countries (Cameroon was actually hardly existant on the list). In the US, a lot of places were predictable like Arizona, Indiana where I grew up, and Maryland where I went to school. And there were other places that caught my eye either because it seems random, like North Hero, VT or Lilburn, GA, or because I have friends there that I've lost contact with for a long time.
So partly because it's easier for me if you choose the topic, and partly because I'm curious who's out there, send me a line! Ask me a question, or just let me know you're out there. You can comment to this blog or, if you're shy, you can email me at thartman2pccam@yahoo.com

About Me
- Tim Hartman - Cameroon
- I left June 6, 2007 for a two year adventure in Cameroon with the Peace Corps. After 3 months of training in country, I was posted in Nkongsamba in the Littoral provence. My plan is to write a journal-type entry every week and post it on the blog. This is a pretty big commitment for me, so if you want to read something every week, keep your fingers crossed. I will do my best...I promise. Tim Hartman, thartman2pccam@yahoo.com C/O US Embassy, US Peace Corps - Corps de la Paix, B.P. 215, Yaoundé - Cameroon

Enjoy reading your blog. I may be taking a position directing the construction of affordable housing in Cameroon, so I am trying to educate myself to the lifestyle, opportunities and caveats to living there. Thanks for posting this blog of your adventures there.
