Homes and Huts

Homes and huts This stretch of Cameroon was also the first place where traditional mud and grass huts became the norm.  Here are some of the more interesting ones we came across. I like that the people here still kept a traditional house along side their modern gate and cement structures. Not exactly a white picket fence but looks ideal enough. This one was in a remote rural area; it did not even have a door. These struck me as being almost Asian.  This was one of the more artistic styles we saw. Hut cluster with the laundry out to dry.  Sometimes there is also a corral for livestock in among the huts. This was early in the morning and the smoky hut must be cooking the daily fufu.  Just imagine how smoky it is inside. Here is a hut supporting a squash vine.  The structures are pretty strong because the pumpkins that grow there are huge. This is where the people live and next week will be where they eat.  After that it is the markets where they shop.
