1/9/2015 Steve Clappier



After two long 8 hour plane rides, the group was very excited to get out of a plane and see Tanzania. I wasn't super excited that we had to endure another 9 hour bus ride to Ilula but we got to enjoy some awesome sites along the way! My favorite part of the bus ride was getting to see the wild animals from the bus. We drove through a national park. We saw gazelle, buffalo, giraffe, and elephants. 

One thing that I didn't anticipate is how green Tanzania is. We are arriving at about the time of the rainy season. The bus ride was beautiful  and took us through the countryside of Tanzania. 

When we arrived as Ilula we had a host of people to welcome us. The hospital is in a beautiful location overlooking green fields with some rolling hills. We are all very excited to start clinical care and see how things are done differently here. 

We hope everyone is doing well at home and look forward to sharing more stories with you!
