Great to hear from Chucks and Patty.There are goats every where.I saw two young ones on the way back from the hospital. One was baaing a lot with his brother and I was drawing closer when I saw the mother and thought better of it. I had goat meat for supper last night. We eat supper at 8:30 pm european style. When in Rome do as the Romans do. I have not had reflux yet. The food is very home grown and natural. It feels very compatible with my body although the meat is tough because the animals are walking everywhere. The roads are all dirt here and you will find many cattle sheep and goats being herded to some grass strips anywhere to feed.The dogs are just workers. No one treats them like pets. I am tempted to treat them like pets but they show no sign of recognition of my dog loving qualities.
I am working with the Nuns reviewing the wonderful course that my student Christi gave me. I am also starting to go through Sandra Hagans book and add my comments. W scan only a few patients a day because the nuns are very busy. Sister Ernesta took the book to study tonight. If I don't finish training by the time I leave Maybe someone can come and take over. You could learn to eat Goat meat, Chuck.
I will try to send some pics at some point. My camera is working sometimes. The Massai men wear something that looks like a dress. I am sure that will go over well with some boys back home. The mountains are beautiful. I am sure we are at least 5k feet. It is 55 or so in am but gets warm for long sleve shirt in the day. it is dry high altitude weather. Fr Thadeus say the weather does not change very much all year long with the exception of some rainy seasons.
Well so much for now. Jack
I am sure that by the time you leave Tanzania it won't be enough time for training because I am training for 2 years and still know very little about ultrasound (at least it feels that way). But no worry, I am sure that Chuck may want to jump in and take over after you leave. Especially the dress-like outfits for local men may intrigue him and he may want to try them himself.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I think that it's a great thing what you're doing! We all think about you and cheering you along. Enjoy the goat meat and the beautiful mountains.
Best wishes, Patti.
