Today we will be heading to Rhumsiki, where we will be spending Christmas.  Rhumsiki is a volcanic area on the border with Nigeria which is dotted with numerous volcanic plugs.  After getting up and packing away our stuff, we have a breakfast of fried eggs and toast.  Once we have filled up the water tank on the truck, we are on our way.

At around noon, we stop in the town of Maroua, where we do some shopping for our Christmas dinner.  After a quick excellent lunch in one of the local restaurants, we are once again on our way.  We arrive in Rhumsiki at 5:30 PM and set up camp.  After a quick look at the sunset, for the rest of the evening, we help out the cook group prepare the evening meal.  For dinner, we have beef stew.
