Pictures (186 of them...!)

I originally went out to the bush to say some goodbyes. As it turned out, the ICROSS clinic is also doing a measles campaign with the Ministroy of Health. The flustered nurse showed me her numbers from earlier that day - she gave 120 vaccinations that day. That does not include the usual flow of patients to the clinic. With that said, I agreed to go back out to the clinic and take care of the vaccinations so she could focus on treating patients. My flight leaves at 10:30 pm tomorrow and I'll be leaving the bush at 5:30 pm with just enough time to pack my bags and head to the airport. I'm really tired, but this is what I came here for. Thank you all for your comments, e-mails, and kind words. Not to get all Josh Groban on you, but you seriously lifted my spirits (so I can soar with eagles and other cheesy sentiment...).

I've discovered that it is much faster to post pictures on facebook, so I posted 186 of them into an album that you can access on my facebook page. I figure most of the people that check this are already my friends on facebook (sorry dad, get with the times...). If you're not my friend, add me.

My to-do list when I get home (in order of importance):
1. BBQ Sandwhich with a milkshake and a side of tortilla chips
2. Empty my cupboards of all forms of rice or beans - I don't want to see one more bean or rice grain for a long time.
3. Sleep
4. Dance Party (even if it's just me)
5. Register for classes (I think school starts soonish?)
6. Shower (optional)

  1. I will actually COOK for you if you just come home healthy and alive!
    I am so proud of you, Ben. Even if you go back there to live, it's ok. On one condition--that I can come and be the one to type up your clinical notes. You need a secretary, right?
    ( I can see you rolling your eyes!)
