spent the last week in kijabe on the men's ward. headed into nairobi on friday and made a stop at the nicest mall in kenya - westgate. good thing i didn't discover it sooner, or i would have gone there far too much! went to my aunt andrea's house who lives in nairobi - and got to hang out with my aunt sheila and cousin sonya who are on their way through to tanzania; it was a family reunion! there was even supposed to be another aunt and uncle around but unfortunately they are stuck because of the icelandic volcanic ash cloud. was supposed to leave early saturday, but the airline pushed the flight back to sunday. went out to lunch with my cousin sonya and did some more window shopping. had amazing ethiopian dinner with the family, and headed to the airport at around midnight.
i've really enjoyed my time in kenya, and learned a lot. the people at the hospital are amazing - they exemplify what it means to truly love people and to make personal sacrifices that translate that love into something tangible - no money involved. and it has definitely confirmed for me that i should be a doctor.
