Here's part of the crew waiting for things to happen in the plumbing store, "Maison du Plombier" (yes, that means "house of plums"). Raoul, Kim, Julianne, and Shannon are actually waiting for the rain to stop (Dr. Steve successfully fled to the car before the cloudburst).
Nicole, Giscard in the Maison du Plombier still remembers you. In fact, Shannon and I were negotiating on the long length of PVC pipe we'll need, and got him down to his "best price" of 500 CFA per meter, and he wouldn't budge after that. But then I asked for the "Nicole price!" He almost broke down, poor guy, then gave us another 10% off. This is going to be a $200 difference if we buy 2000 m of pipe, and we will probably buy more. So thanks for your reputation!
Dr. Steve

Salut from the country that has the same national flag’s colors as UD! Interesting to read about all of your adventures. 2000 m of pipe installation is impressive, especially for such a small team. Bonne chance in Bamendjou!!!
Hahaha. Glad I could help the team out from America. Please tell Giscard I say hello if you happen to see him again :) Been following your posts and things are looking pretty great! Stay dry.
