Linda and I made it home to Minnesota this afternoon, and surprised to see the lack of snow here. We had a wonderful 2 day safari with most of the group at Ruaha National Park. The lodge we stayed at was outstanding with each tent/room having its unique view of the river, with Baboons and monkeys walking along. We heard elephants and lion noises all night, so we knew not to wander too far. We forced Randy Hurley to sit through an appreciation breakfast in his honor. It was sad to say goodbye to everyone at lodge, but we look forward to seeing them at a reunion event soon. Anne, Phil, Linda and I flew from the Ruaha "airstrip" to Dar yesterday morning. What an adventure that was - flying in a 12 seater plane, and seeing giraffes no more than 50 yards from the airstrip as we took off.
Now that I am home and have better internet - here is the photo of Maria (Center), our precious baby patient with her cousin and Winnie, the wonderful head maternity nurse. A happy endign to long a ordeal for her. And a few photos from our time in Ruaha.
Several clinicians will remain at Ilula for two more weeks -so we look forward to seeing their posts.
Asante sana to Randy, Ken, and Mwamoody for a great experience in Ilula!
